The Shennong Stream rises from the south slope of Shennongjia. It is 60 km long with the narrowest section just 5 meters (5.5 yards) wide, with precipices on both sides at an angle of over 80 degrees. It flows into the Yangtze River 2 km (1.24 miles) to the east of Wu Gorge.
On the stream are small boats to provide a feel for ancient experiences. Boarding the boat, you will be taken to the creek covered by emerald green bamboo forests. Without motor power, the air is extremely clean; you hear only bird chirps and the boat trackers' working songs.
On the upper reach of the stream is the Shennongjia Natural Reserve. The drifting area is also distinctive for its charming scenes that combine the features of the Three Gorges into one and displays to visitors the river's power, natural fragility and dangers.
