Lingfeng Peak, also called Shennong Peak, rises to 2,115.2 meters and is the highest point in Hunan Province. It lies on the main ridge of the Wanyang Mountains on the border between Yanling County and Jiangxi, within the Taoyuandong National Nature Reserve. The summit has dwarf alpine forest and meadows, and on clear days you can see the peaks of Jinggang Mountain and seas of clouds. The climb usually starts from Lishuzhou or a nearby village and takes 6 to 8 hours round trip. The route is rugged, so it is best to follow an experienced guide or outdoor group and carry plenty of water and cold-weather clothing. Visitors must follow the management rules of the reserve's core zone, and should not attempt the climb in rainy or foggy weather.
