For thousands of years, Wudang Mountains, seem to be forever hidden in the thick layers of clouds, are always full of mysterious legends. Wudang Mountains are the home to a famous complex of Taoist temples and monasteries, built in honour of the god Xuan Wu. The first temple on Wudang Mountains was built during the early Tang dynasty. While some other architectures are built in Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. As an important destination for Taoist pilgrimages, many people have been drawn to the mountain to meditate and practice martial arts. This place is known as the birth place of Tai Chi.
