Introducing Wǔdāng Shān
A Unesco World Heritage Site, the gorgeous mountains of Wǔdāng Shān (entrance gate 566 7415; admission peak/off-peak Y110/80, insurance additional Y2; 6am-10pm) stretch for 400km across northwestern Húběi attracting bands of Taoist worshippers and devotees of Chinese nèijiā gōngfū (internal kungfu). There are martial arts schools up here that travellers can join. Wǔdāng Shān may not be one of the five most sacred Taoist mountains in China, but an unmistakable religious aura envelops its temples and crags.
