Question

Thousands of years ago, in the south of ancient China, there lived a man called Shennong with an ox (牛) head and a human body. After seeing many local people were badly ill, he built ladders(梯子) and houses on a high mountain to hold hundreds of medical plants. To remember him, people named the place Shennongjia.

The story makes Shennongjia in Hubei a famous place for tourists. Travelling there is an exciting experience, because you can see beautiful sights of the four seasons from different altitudes(海拔). “When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foot of the hill is autumn, the top is covered with ice，” local people say of the special climate(气候) of Shennongjia.

Shennongjia is also home to 5，000 kinds of animals and plants. Many animals in danger live there, such as the golden monkey, the clouded leopard and the Asian black bear.

One interesting thing about Shennongjia is its story of wild men. Some people once said that they saw very big footprints(脚印). Yet so far, scientists haven't believed it is true and some say they are just bears.

The beautiful place has received a new title. On July 17, 2016, Shennongjia Forestry District was added(增加) to United Nations World Heritage list as a natural site. China now has 50 world heritage sites(遗址), second only to Italy in the world.
