Wudang sacred realm open 24 hours

Self-driving cars can be parked at the Wudang Mountain gate parking lot, which is very spacious, so there's no worry about finding a spot; from the Wudang Mountain West high-speed train station, you can take a bus to the mountain gate for 2 yuan, payable with WeChat. The two-day itinerary: Arriving at the Wudang Mountain gate at 3 pm. After buying tickets, take a scenic area bus for 20 minutes to Taizi Slope, then change buses to Qiongtai. The bus speeds through the mountains, and soon the towering Wudang peaks come into view. The Qiongtai cable car goes straight up to the Golden Summit. In the afternoon, there are only people coming down, and there are very few going up by cable car, so you can have a whole car to yourself. After getting off at the cable car station, it's a ten-minute climb to the Golden Summit. After paying respects at the Golden Temple and finding the golden bricks, I started descending towards Nanyan Palace. From the Golden Summit to Nanyan Palace, you can take either the Ming Shen Dao or Qing Shen Dao. Ming Shen Dao has more scenic spots but is steep with many ups and downs, while Qing Shen Dao, which was obviously built later, is gentler and suitable for a midnight rush to see the sunrise. Overnight at Nanyan Palace, there are many guesthouses and homestays. Rooms facing the east cliff may have the chance to see a sea of clouds at sunrise. The next morning, I visited Nanyan Palace, saw the peach wood sword and dragon head incense, took a round trip to Langmei Temple, and then returned to Nanyan Palace to take the scenic area bus to Zixiao Palace. Zixiao Palace is the largest comprehensive Taoist architectural complex in Wudang Mountain, with a majestic presence. The last stop was back to Taizi Slope, also known as Fuzhen Temple, where we had changed buses the day before. Along the way, there were many monkeys, the winding Nine-Turn Yellow River Wall, the architectural gem Wuyun Tower, and the aptly named Taizi Reading Hall, each one a masterpiece. At 4 pm, I returned to the Wudang Mountain gate, ending the 24-hour Wudang journey perfectly.
