Pingqian Ancient Town (Shennongjia Forest District)

Pingqian Ancient Town is a transit point for many tourists heading to Dajiu Lake. Some friends will stay here for a few nights, while others will have a lunch here. Tourists who have been to Dajiu Lake are deeply impressed by this place. Pingqian Ancient Town is a newly built imitation ancient salt road town in recent years. Historically, this place was a necessary passage for Sichuan salt to enter Hubei. Porters waded through water and mountains, eating and sleeping in the open, transporting mountain treasures from here and bringing in rock salt. At that time, merchants from all over gathered here, and it was prosperous for several years. Now, with the development of tourism in Shennongjia, Pingqian has regained its former prosperity. Every year in July and August, countless tourists from all over the world come here to escape the heat. Some will stay here for three to five days, while others stay for two months.
