Must-see attractions 1, Yuxu Palace
Wang Shizhen Seo Woo, a famous writer in Ming Dynasty, seems to appreciate Seo Woo very much in Qin Afang. Yuxu Palace Taoism calls Yuxu Palace the residence of the Jade Emperor. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Yuxu Palace was once the largest temple in the royal temple view of Wudang Mountain. Unfortunately, it was almost completely destroyed after two fires and flash floods. In 2007, the main hall of Yuxu Palace was restored in the same way as before, and was completed on 20 12. Although the existing ruins can't show the whole picture of that year, they can also get a glimpse of its once lofty sacredness.
2. Grinding needle well
The grinding needle well is also called Chunyang Palace, which is named after Wudang Taoism believes that when the sun rises every day, the pure sun is harvested first. The main building of the needle grinding well is the pavilion, in which the iron pestle needle grinding statue is placed. The statue is simple and vivid, showing the world the beautiful legend of grinding the needle with a pestle, spreading the profound implication that perseverance can succeed, and affecting generation after generation.
3. Taizipo
To go to Taizipo Scenic Area, you must first pass a simple stone arch bridge with ornamental columns, namely Fuzhen Bridge. Climbing up the stairs from Fuzhen Bridge, the gate of Taizipo comes into view. Taizipo is also known as the concept of returning to nature. The east-west Prince's Slope is a rare form in the history of Chinese architecture. It was built on the steep slope of Lion Peak at 60 degrees, and was praised as a classic of steep slope architecture by architects. Ancient architects skillfully built nine yellow river walls by using mountainous terrain, which is quite spectacular, just like waves crossing mountains and mountains. The main building of Taizipo is naturally Fuguan Zhentang, which was built in the tenth year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the tenth year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty. On it, we can see the majesty and majesty created by the masters of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The hall is dedicated to the largest colored wood carving statue in the whole mountain-Zhenwu statue and golden married couple, and their entourage. In addition, Wuyun Building, the tallest wooden structure in Wudang Mountain, is also in this scenic spot.
Taizipo Scenic Area includes Huilongguan, Mozhen Well, Laojuntang and Baxian Temple. Although this scenic spot has a long route, it is mostly close to the highway for traveling up the mountain, and the traffic is very convenient. The ancient buildings in Taizipo are basically carefully designed according to the story of Zhenwu cultivation. According to legend, this is the place where the prince of Jingle Kingdom practiced Buddhism. At that time, inspired by Zi Qi Yuan Jun, the prince bid farewell to his parents and went to Wudang Mountain to practice alone. After 42 years, he finally achieved great success, gained the reputation of Tao and was named Tai Xuan. Later Zhenwu was named Tanokami, known as Zhenwu the Great in history.
4. Xiaoyao Valley
Xiaoyao Valley is a tourist attraction integrating natural landscape and animal ecology. There are many kinds of animals in the valley. Macaques roaming in the jungle and black swans swimming among lotus leaves are fun. Xiaoyao Valley has beautiful scenery, and Zhang Jizhong's new work "Eternal Dragon Slayer" was shot here.
Xiaoyao Valley is commonly known as Macaque Valley. There are many kinds of animals in the valley, which often haunt the jungle, as well as many wonders such as the golden monkey jumping on the stream and the macaque offering peaches. It is the most representative attraction among the eight scenic spots in Wudang Mountain. Today, Wudang Mountain is covered with trees, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and macaques are swarming. Here, if tourists bring food, monkeys will take it rudely and then thank you politely; If they don't bring food, some naughty monkeys will stop and ask for food like children. When feeding the monkeys, tourists can also take photos with them hand in hand. It's really fun for people and monkeys.
5.zixiao palace
Zixiao Palace is located at the foot of Zhanqi Peak in the northeast of Tianzhu Peak. Because of the surrounding mountains, two treasure chairs with dragons and pearls naturally formed, which were named Zixiao Blessed Land by Emperor Yongle, the ancestor of Ming Dynasty. What impressed me the most about Zixiao Palace is Zixiao Hall, which is the only double-eaved resting-wood hall in Wudang Mountain. There are statues of Zhenwu and Wu Wen immortals in it, and the beauty of Ming and Qing architecture is vividly displayed on it.
6. Southern Yan Palace
Southern Yan Palace has lush trees, steep peaks and beautiful mountain scenery on sunny days. In the rainy season, the mountains are misty, just like a fairyland. There are magnificent scenery all year round. There is one of the best observation platforms in Southern Yan Palace, which offers a panoramic view of Southern Yan Palace. Standing in the distance, you can only feel pavilions and picturesque scenery. Nanyantang stands on the cliff, but it is not half as imposing as it should be. Its superb skills are amazing. Outside Nanyantang, there are carved dragon stone pillars on the cliff, and incense burners are carved at the top of the faucet, which is known as the first fragrant dragon head incense in the world. I saw it with my own eyes, but I was amazed.
Southern Yan Palace is a national key cultural relic protection unit and a famous Taoist temple. It is located in Nanyan, Wudang Mountain, danjiangkou city City, Hubei Province. At present, only the Stone Hall in Yuan Dynasty, the Nantianmen in Ming Dynasty, the Monument Pavilion and the Hall of Two Instruments are left. There is still a statue of the Jade Emperor on the old site of Yuan Jun Temple, which is dressed in exquisite clothes and lifelike in shape. There is a tiger's mouth in the north of the palace rock, and there are dressing tables, flying platforms and other historical sites above the peak of the south rock. 7.jinding
Leave Southern Yan Palace and walk from Southern Yan Temple along the ancient Shinto to Jinding. Climbing to the top of Tianzhu Peak, I finally saw the whole picture of Jinding. Jinding is the symbol and essence of Wudang Mountain. It is rigorous in structure and magnificent in momentum. Looking up at Jinding, you can see the majestic beauty of Wudang Mountain, and the heart of reverence arises spontaneously. It is really worthy of the reputation of Xianshan Qiongge. It is said that every summer during the thunderstorm season, Wudang Mountain will have the spectacle of lightning striking the Golden Temple. I hope to see it next time.
