Hubei Shennongjia is located in the Shennongjia Forest District and Badong county in Hubei province. It is on the ecotone from the plains and foothill regions of eastern China to the mountainous region of central China.

In 2016, Shennongjia was officially included on the World Heritage List and was honored with the title of "World Natural Heritage Site", thanks to its exceptional floral and faunal biodiversity and its protection of many rare, endangered, and endemic species, including dove trees (Davidia involucrata) and golden snub-nosed monkeys.
