Muyu, Hubei


Muyu is a town in Shennongjia Forestry District, in the west of Hubei province, People's Republic of China. Located on China National Highway 209, it is the main population and services center of the southern part of the district.
The town is stretched along the upper course of Xiang Stream , which flows from Shennongjia mountains southeast toward the Yangtze. The river valley is paralleled by China National Highway 209.
Serving as the natural "gateway" to Shennongjia National Nature Reserve, Muyu and its vicinity is the location of most of the hotels and tourist services in the southern part of Shennongjia. Regular minibus service connects it to Yichang and Maoping. There is also less-regular shuttle van service north, to Songbai town and Shiyan; but the road north is still "unimproved", and, moreover, that part of Shennongjia is closed to foreigners.
