The rest of the stone base and wooden beams are historical relics. The many inscriptions in the courtyard can provide physical evidence. At that time, I was young and full of energy. I endured the scorching sun and just walked to the top quickly. I didn't have time to pay attention to the landscape and cultural relics along the way. This visit is intended to explore the cultural associations of Taoist mountains in various places named "Wudang". ✅ Essential: flashlight (mountain road with lights but bring your own safer) non-slip hiking shoes, rush jacket + down jacket (large temperature difference on the mountain top) Thermos cup (hot water on the mountain top) ✅ Choose straps: gloves, knee pads (stairs more) charger, camera (night view great) ❌ Lightning protection: Don’t bring too much luggage!

Ancient Wudang Mountain EL+1438, was founded during the Sui Dynasty, and has been rebuilt during the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, all by civilian efforts. On the summit, there is an ancient stele from the Tang Dynasty inscribed with 'Ancient Wudang Mountain', which is famous in the Taoist community as the northern Wudang Mountain, with a history that predates other Wudang Mountains in the country. The temples of Ancient Wudang Mountain are built at the very top of the peak, where people say: 'The gods sit within the temple, while the temple travels amidst the clouds.'

✨Exploring the ancient Wudang Mountain in Handan at night✨ 🌙Under the night sky of Handan, with a gentle breeze, it's the perfect time to climb the ancient Wudang Mountain. Standing at 1438 meters, the mountain is like a mysterious tower between heaven and earth. Filled with anticipation and excitement, we embarked on this adventure. 🍜For food preparation, I carefully selected instant noodles, sausages, and bread as supplies for any contingency. Along the way, we were pleasantly surprised to find stalls selling water and instant noodles halfway up the mountain and at the summit, which was extremely convenient. Interestingly, the price of mineral water was 6 yuan halfway up the mountain, but it dropped to 5 yuan at the summit, perhaps because the wind is fresher there! 🌌The ancient Wudang Mountain has a different charm under the night sky. Climbing the steep stairs, it felt as if we were in the starry sky. Looking up, the stars were dazzlingly brilliant, almost within reach. When we reached halfway up the mountain, the view became even more enchanting. On one side were towering peaks reaching into the clouds, and on the other was the vast night sky, dotted with stars, like a magnificent painting. 🏞️Finally reaching the summit, the view opened up before us. The sky bridge and the Cloud Top Palace came into view, as if we were in a fairyland. On the way down, we encountered Echo Valley and unique check-in boards, which added a lot of fun. Also, by stopping in front of the science popularization boards, we learned about the Zhangshiyan landform, making the trip truly worthwhile. 🚗During this night climb of Wudang Mountain, we found that many people were with us, and some even brought tents to watch the sunrise. Everyone encouraged and helped each other, making this adventure even more memorable. However, it's important to note that when driving there, there might be traffic near the Taihang Mountain scenic area, so it's best to plan your trip in advance. When returning to the city around 2 a.m., people tend to get sleepy, so it's advisable to take turns driving to ensure safety.
