This is Niangniang village, the core scenic spot of Dahong mountain, a national key scenic spot. It is surrounded by mountains and isolated from the world. According to historical records, during the rebellion of an and Shi in Tang Dynasty, Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty had no choice but to kill Yang Guifei because of the mutiny of soldiers. Hearing the news, the royal family fled from Chang'an, the capital city, overnight, all the way south, and then disappeared mysteriously in the middle of Hubei Province. For thousands of years, the royal family has lived in seclusion here, farming men and weaving women. Later, this place was discovered by an old medicine farmer who went into the mountain to collect medicine and gradually spread. His experience is just like that described in Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Land. What's different is that Tao Yuanming's description of Taohuayuan has no end in the end, but it really shows up in front of people in the world. When people learned the truth, they named this place Niangniang village in memory of Yang Guifei.

The scenery here is beautiful and the natural ecology is well protected. What's more amazing is that the population naturally remains unchanged. According to reliable information, over the past few hundred years, the population of more than 20 families here has been maintained at more than 80, regardless of whether they are old or married. Many experts and scholars can't understand this, which has become an eternal mystery.

There are lots of Nanmu and bamboo forests, dozens of fruit trees such as peach, pear, apricot, orange, apple and pomegranate, and the famous Yunwu Tea. All these make Niangniang village a rare ecological and cultural tourism area integrating natural ecology, history and humanity. Walking in the meantime, it's like coming to the fairyland and paradise.

What's more valuable is that there is 5 hectares of the world's largest ancient ginkgo community in Kongshan Cave Scenic Area. There are thousands of living fossils of ancient plants of the same age as dinosaurs, many of which are more than 1000 years old. According to scientific research, the largest "ginkgo king" tree is more than 2400 years old.
