The Shennong Stream (a legendary figure who invented the plough) is in west Hubei Province. It is over 37.2 miles long and runs from north to south, to empty into the Wu Gorge in the east. Drifting on the stream has become a visitor activity. Visitors float in a broad beamed boat, which takes them to Mianzhu Gorge, Yingwu or Parrot Gorge and Longchang Gorge. The waterway is narrow and luxurious vegetation covers both shores. Monkeys and wild goats can be seen and the atmosphere is rustic. Plank roads on the cliffs and hanging coffins are also visible.
