I Love Postcards : Greeting from Wudang


Wudang Mountain PC


Ancient Architectural Complex on Wudang Mountain


Situated in Hubei Province, Wudang Mountain is a famous mountain sacred to Taoism and birthplace of the art of Wudang Boxing. The scenery here is very beautiful. A lot of marks of long history and rich culture of the mountain can be found on the mountain, while the Taoist architectural complex, mostly built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), was inscribed on the World Heritage List. The main tourist spot are Xuanyue Gate, Yuanhe Taoist Temple, Yuzhen Palace, Zixiao Palace and Golden Hall.

I am in need of a getaway.....
I wonder what we can cook up this weekend?!
Surely it won't take me to the sacred mountain tops of Wudang,
but it should be a retreat of sorts.
One that will allow me to reconnect with myself, and nature.
I have a place in mind....

  1. Thanks for sharing your post card with us it is beautiful and make my desire to travel to china stronger. I am hoping to get to China in March 2009. I think the history and culture is fascinating I will be checking the tour itinerary to see if it travels through Wudang Mountain. I hope your own little weekend retreat allows you the reconnect you desire.

  3. A co-worker of mine just got back from France and was sharing his experiences with me this morning. My heart yearned for Europe with each story. I still keep a 5 Euro in my wallet from last year's trip to Ireland. Darrin must think I'm nuts.
