The 2025 “Shennong Cup” Hunan Anren Tonic Diet Competition was launched in Anren County on March 19. 110 contestants from all over the country participated in it.

Anren County is a blessed land where Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, taught farming, and made tilling tools. Some customs have been passed down for thousands of years, like market-day, worshiping the Medicine King (Sun Simiao, a medical scientist from Tang Dynasty), and trading herbs.
In recent years, Anren County has built a national tonic diet exchange platform based on the Shennong culture to inject new energy into the Chinese medicine health tourism, and promote the vigorous development of the tourism industry.
