Shiyan Wudang Mountain: An Encounter with the Misty Mountains

🏝I just came down from Tianzhu Peak, and my phone is full of photos of the sea of clouds, ancient temples, and martial arts scenery. I can't help but share my magical experience of this "No. 1 Immortal Mountain in the World"! 🏝Wudang Mountain is not only about Taoism and martial arts, but also like a living museum. Whether you are standing on the Golden Summit overlooking the peaks or practicing Tai Chi with a Taoist priest in Zixiao Palace, you can feel the tranquility of the "unity of nature and man". 🏝Golden Summit: A Fairyland Within Reach. The Golden Summit, 1,612m above sea level, is the soul of Wudang Mountain. I climbed the mountain in the dark at 4am just to see a sea of clouds and the sunrise! When the sun penetrates the mist and shines on the gilded hall, you get the illusion of "successful cultivation"! The Golden Hall is made of pure copper without a single nail. The ever-burning lamp that has survived more than 600 years of wind and rain is also amazing. 🏝Nanyan Palace: A Martial Arts Film Set on a Cliff. Nanyan's "Dragon Head Incense" lives up to its name! A stone beam extends out over the cliff, and an incense burner stands on the dragon's head. Daring ancient people used to risk offering incense here. It's a great place to take photos, with red walls and green tiles against the backdrop of dangerous peaks, creating a cinematic feel. 🏝Taiji Gorge: A Slow Stroll Through the Scenery. If you are tired of climbing, the green waters and red rocks of Taiji Gorge can heal you! Take a bamboo raft and watch the strange peaks on both sides reflected in the water. You might feel as if you have traveled into the painting, A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains. 🏝Wudang Dream: An Immersive Experience. The newly opened cultural tourism park at the foot of the mountain is super fun! Holographic projection + live performance bring the story of Zhang Sanfeng to life. There are also ancient style parades and light shows in the evening, which are suitable for families with kids or photo enthusiasts. 🏝Tips: ⭐️Food Recommendations: Head straight to "Laohugou Food Street" after descending the mountain. Sanhe Soup and Zhuxi grilled fish are must-try dishes. Pair them with a glass of Fangxian yellow wine to savor the journey while feeling tipsy. ⭐️Photography Tips: The fog on the mountain is heavy, so wear bright clothes to stand out! ⭐️Equipment Recommendations: Lightweight sneakers + a light jacket. Hiking poles are available for rent, so don't be silly and carry your own! 🚥[Transportation Guide] ⭐️High-speed train/train: Get off at Shiyan Station or Wudangshan West Station. There are scenic spot buses outside the station. It is recommended to buy a joint ticket in advance to save worry! ⭐️Self-driving: Navigate to "Wudang Mountain Visitor Center". The parking lot is huge, but parking spaces are limited during peak season, so it is recommended to arrive early!
