Dajiu Lake Alpine Wetland

　　    Wetlands are known as the lungs of the Earth. The Dajiu Lake Alpine Wetland in Shennongjia is one of the world’s rare mid-latitude alpine wetlands and is hailed as the “Hulunbuir” of Hubei — a high-altitude plain. It covers an area of about 24 square kilometers, with an average elevation of over 1,700 meters. The area preserves an ancient and simple way of life, where people live in peace and harmony with nature, presenting a breathtaking landscape reminiscent of “seeing flocks of sheep and cattle beneath the wind-blown grass.”       Dajiu Lake is the largest alpine plain in central China. With abundant rainfall, lush grass, and a cool climate, it features classic alpine grassland scenery and serves as a leisure and resort destination within Shennongjia, focused on subalpine swamps, basins, and sightseeing pastures. Key attractions include: high-altitude basins, wetlands, grasslands, pastures, sika deer, and ancient elm trees. It’s an ideal place for horseback riding, mountain biking, archery, cultural experiences, and various outdoor fitness and leisure activities.
