Wudang Mountain, regarded as a holy place of Chinese Taoism, also happens to appear at this latitude, and neatly corresponds to the shining of Xuanwu Star. Is this another coincidence? As the place where Chinese Taoist philosophy and the mysterious and ethereal Wudang martial arts are carried forward, her ghosts and mysteries, looming and exuding a timeless charm, the imagination space of Wudang Mountain also changes with the seasons.

Pilgrims from all over the world come in an endless stream

When talking about China’s Wudang Mountain, what scene comes to your mind? Is it the Wudang sect with unparalleled martial arts in Jin Yong’s works? Or is it the martial arts master Zhang Sanfeng? In recent years, with the filming of the “Wudang” series and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and other film and television works on site, many people have longed for Wudang Mountain. In addition to the endless stream of pilgrims every year, Wudang Mountain has also become a new tourist attraction for backpackers and a holy mountain for martial artists to learn from their masters.

Wudang Mountain, also known as Taihe Mountain, is located in Shiyan City, Hubei Province. It covers an area of 312 square kilometers and is about 1,600 meters above sea level. It is adjacent to the historic city of Xiangyang in the east, the car city of Shiyan in the west, the Shennongjia forest area in the south, and the large artificial freshwater lake Danjiangkou Reservoir in the north. As Wudang Mountain has a highly harmonious fusion of natural beauty and humanistic beauty, it has the reputation of “the most unparalleled scenic spot in the world, the first fairy mountain in the world”. It also covers an area more than twice that of the Forbidden City, and is known as the “Forbidden City on the mountain”.

The most unparalleled fairy mountain in the world

Last year, China voted for the top ten religious mountains in the country, and Wudang Mountain was ranked first with a high vote. However, such an honor is by no means undeserved, but it has accumulated rich and profound Taoist cultural assets over a long history. If you take a trip to Wudang Mountain, I believe you will deeply agree: “Wudang Mountain is the well-deserved number one Taoist mountain!”

武当山道教士崇拜的最高神祇是“真武帝”，据说是北方玄武神的后裔，在台湾被称为“玄天帝”。据说，真武帝15岁时就受子祁元君的启迪，在武当山修行了42年。他在农历九月初九达到圆满。因此，每年的这一天，武当山都会举行一场盛大的庆祝活动。武当山上的许多宗教建筑都与真武皇帝密切相关。
