Wudang: A journey through the fairyland of history

✨ Finally set foot on the legendary Wudang Mountain, I can't help but exclaim: This is indeed a fairyland built by 300,000 troops! Departing from Wuhan, it only takes two hours by high-speed rail to arrive, and the train station is almost the last stop in front of the mountain gate, which is extremely convenient. ✨ There are countless strategies for Wudang Mountain, but the most core one is: live on the mountain! The accommodation choices on the mountain are abundant, from Taizipo to Xiaoyaogu, from Zixiao Palace to Nanyan Palace, to Qiongtai and Jinding, every corner is full of historical traces. Not only that, there are also many small scenic spots and ancient sites, such as Chaoshengmen, Santianmen, and Ertianmen, each of which is worth exploring carefully. The large-scale construction ordered by Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty makes every brick and tile here seem extraordinarily solemn. ✨ When visiting Wudang Mountain, you will first pass through the bustling Wudang Golden Street, where various shops are gathered, and the tourist service center is also located here. From here, you can easily reach all important scenic spots except Jinding by bus. If you want to take a cable car, you need to go to Qiongtai Station, and hiking usually starts from Nanyan, passing through Langmei Shrine, Huanglong Cave, Baibu Ladder, Chaotian Palace, and then you can choose Ming Shen Road or Qing Shen Road. There are many ancient sites on the Ming Shen Road, and the Qing Shen Road is relatively quiet. Most tourists will choose the former to go up the mountain and the latter to go down the mountain. ✨ If time permits, you might as well go to the Wudang Mountain Museum first. The collections here are rich and the explanations are detailed. After understanding these background knowledge, you will have a deeper understanding and feeling of every scene in front of you. ✨ If economic conditions permit, the best place to stay is Jinding. I booked a special room in Jinding VIP Building on a certain trip, and the price of 500 yuan is super cost-effective. The next morning, it only takes ten minutes to reach Jinding. The location is simply incomparable. The magnificent sunset and the magical sunrise are so beautiful that people are intoxicated. After visiting Jinding, you can choose to hike down the mountain to Nanyan, and the scenery along the way is also beautiful. ✨ In short, Wudang Mountain is not only a scenic spot, but also a living history textbook. Every visit is a baptism of the soul, and every exploration is a tribute to history.
