Zhuzhou, is known as the place where Chinese culture originated, and Yandi culture symbolizes the spirit of Zhuzhou. To establish "Shennong city" is another major initiative of the municipal committee and municipal government to enhance the city's charisma.

With the former Yandi Square and Tiantai Park as the heart, the project of Shennong City expands itself to both sides from the remaining city forest belt. The project covers an area of 2,970 mu (198 hectares) in total, 1,620 mu (108 hectares) for the core area and 1,350 mu (90 hectares) for the expanding area. The total investment of the project reaches over 10 billion yuan.

About 7,000 thousand years ago, Yandi Shennong set foot in Zhuzhou, and tasted hundreds of herbs in order to cure diseases, but he died and was buried in the lower end of Changsha, today's Yanling Town in Zhuzhou. Since then, Zhuzhou has been the holy place and root for the Chinese.

With Yandi Culture as the core, the whole project includes nine scenic spots: Shennong Statue, Shennong Square, Shennong Sun City, Shennong Tower, Shennong Lake, Shennong Grand Theater, Shennong Art Center, Shennong Altar and Shennong Avenue.
