In addition, college students can enjoy half-priced tickets with their student cards. The discounted tickets cover Shennong Peak, Shennong Altar, Tiansheng Bridge, Guanmen Mountain, Tianyan, and Dajiu Lake.

Hubei Shennong Tourism Group is also staging many activities to meet students' needs, such as climbing, scientific exploration tours, camping in the wild, bathing in forests, singing folk songs and collecting plant specimens.

A new additional attraction – a Wild Man Cave in the Guanmen Mountain scenic area - will be opened to tourists during the period as well. At the entrance to the cave, tourists can enjoy a 3D film about ancient men`s lives in the primeval forest projected onto a large screen on the rock faces.

As well as the film, the cave features scenes of wild men to provide a totally different experience to tourists. In the cave, there is also a laser light water-screen, and before tourists leave the cave, they will meet with 3 dressed-up wild men talking with strange voices.
