Shennongjia Yantian Scenic Area

　　    Swallow Cave: Situated on a 243-meter slope, it is 14 meters high, 18 meters deep, and 16 meters wide, with the main cave stretching about 3,700 meters. It hosts a large population of short-beaked swiftlets. These swiftlets have short beaks (2 cm) and small bodies (12 cm), yet they fly in and out without colliding. The unique natural environment of Shennongjia has caused them to lose their migratory characteristics.

　　    Yan Ya (Swallow Ridge): At an elevation of 2,200 meters, it offers panoramic views of the Shennongjia landscape.

　　    Tian Men Ya (Gate of Heaven Ridge): At an altitude of 2,328 meters, it lies 12 kilometers north of Hongping and faces Yan Ya. Often shrouded in mist, it accumulates snow in October, which melts by May of the following year.
