The Beauty of Winter Rhyme in Taiji Lake

Recommended reason: Wei Wudang Xianshan, Yangchi. Over the past year, the silent dialogue between mountains and water has been going on. There is pure water at the foot of Wudang Mountain, and Taiji Lake is full of blue peaks. Therefore, the majesty of Wudang Mountain is set off by the gentleness of water, and the twists and turns of Wudang Mountain have the agility and harmony of water. Taiji Lake moistens Beijing and Tianjin in the context of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, which is an incomparable advantage for many lakes and waves.

When you come to Taiji Lake, you must take a boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the lake. Xuan Yue Gate Wharf is the first choice for tourists to travel by boat. According to the characteristics of scenic spots, two sightseeing routes are designated in the upper reaches of Taiji Lake, both of which start from the pier. One is "group tour", which starts from Xuan Yue Gate Wharf, passes through the Convention and Exhibition Center and Egret Island Road, and the whole journey is about 1 hour. The other is "Wind Tour", which starts from Xuan Yue Gate Wharf and returns via Ruyi Wharf and Forest Park. It takes about half an hour.

Travel Tips: It is very convenient to get from Wudang Mountain Tourism Special Economic Zone to Xuan Yue Gate Wharf of Taiji Lake. It's only one yuan by bus, and it takes about 10 minutes.

Read martial arts classics at night.

I saw the natural scenery of Taiji Lake during the day. At night, my vision and hearing feel different. I went to see the colorful Tai Chi world on the stage.

Highlight: Wu Le Shengdian is a high-standard and high-level original Wudang Kung Fu performance party, which also represents the highest level of China Wudang Neijia Boxing performance. Taiji Lake Group invested tens of millions to build this party, from a powerful behind-the-scenes team to stage lighting, music special effects and actors' costumes. Qin Jing is an exhibition of Wudang Kung Fu, which shows the subtleties of various moves of Wudang Wushu. Taiji sword waving, sword shadow like streamer, like dragonfly, like lightning. Dancing dust seems to dance lightly, but it implies the trend of destruction. Exquisite Wudang boxing and fencing, together with dance elements, gorgeous stage effects and shocking pictures, put you in a mysterious Tai Chi world.

The next day: climb Wudang Mountain to enjoy the snow and read history.

Winter scenery of Wudang Mountain

To go to Taiji Lake, you must go to Wudang Mountain. The winter scenery of Wudang Mountain is as good as spring and summer. The snow scene of Wudang Mountain is a must, and climbing Wudang Mountain in the snow is more interesting. Although Wudang Mountain is not listed as five mountains, it is called above them by the world. Mi Fei, a great painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, even praised Wudang Mountain as "the first mountain in the world", which shows that Wudang Mountain is a place worth visiting.

Recommended reason:

Wudang Mountain is a world cultural heritage, a famous Taoist shrine and the birthplace of wudang boxing. Since the Tang Dynasty, emperors have built royal ancestral temples in Wudang Mountain. Emperor Yongle of Ming Dynasty overhauled Wudang. According to legend, the Forbidden City was built in the north and Wudang was built in the south. Wudang Taoism reached its peak, and Wudang Mountain became the largest Dojo in China.

There are 72 peaks in Wudang Mountain. The main peak, Tianzhu Peak, is 16 12 meters above sea level. Other peaks are inclined to Tianzhu Peak, which is a wonder. Nature's uncanny workmanship endows Wudang Mountain with beautiful scenery. There are the beauty of Mount Tai, the danger of Huashan, the beauty of Emei, the wonder of Huangshan and the seclusion of Qingcheng Mountain. Not only the natural landscape is amazing, but also the ancient buildings on Wudang Mountain are dotted with high historical value. When you walk into this mountain in winter, you can appreciate its glory and explore its heavy historical precipitation, which has a unique flavor.

Recommended attractions:

1. Jinding

Overlooking Wudang Mountain from Jinding.

Jinding is the essence of Wudang Mountain. If you climb Wudang Mountain and don't reach Jinding Mountain, then you haven't been to Wudang Mountain. The sun shines on the top of the golden dome, which is much warmer than in the mountains. There are many peaks in Wudang Mountain, all of which come down in one continuous line with the highest Jinding. There is a unique Ming Dynasty building-Jin Dian on the top of Jin Dian. After 600 years of wind and rain, the Golden Temple is still as brilliant as ever, and it is listed as a national first-class key protected cultural relic. Canato is dedicated to Zhenwu the Great. In Kanatonouchi, there is a lamp with a long history of nearly 600 years. It was lit in the 14th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (14 16) and remained immortal for nearly 600 years. The magic lamp witnessed the glorious rise and fall of Wudang for hundreds of years.

2. Zixiao Palace

The majestic Zixiao Palace

Zixiao Palace is one of the well-preserved ancient palace buildings on Wudang Mountain. There are rows of attics in Tian Zi Palace, surrounded by beautiful Zhou Songbai and dense bamboo forests, which makes this ancient building more elegant and solemn. Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty sealed "Ziyun Blessed Land", which shows its status. Zixiao Palace, with its exquisite architecture and magnificent momentum, has won the reputation of "Forbidden City in the Air".

3. Southern Yan

Southern Yan Palace on the Cliff

On the steep vertical towering cliff, there are magnificent palace buildings embedded, which is the landscape of Nanyan. Nanyan is known as the most beautiful place in Wudang 36 Rock. According to legend, since Lv Dongbin became a monk in the Tang Dynasty, incense has been flourishing, and Nanyan is called the real martial arts "holy land". It is worth mentioning that there is a hexagonal stone pillar well in front of Xuandi Temple in Nanyan Palace. Well water is cold and sweet. It is said that well water can cure all diseases and is regarded as "golden liquid" by Taoism, hence the name "Ganlu Well". Visitors to Wudang Mountain must not forget to take a sip of well water if they pass by Nanyan.

4. Taizipo

Taizipo, built on the mountain.

Prince Guan Town of Fu Bao is built on the back of Lion Rock, with Tianchi Waterfall on the right and eighteen plank roads on the left, just like a magnificent city. The 7 1 meter-long red wall on the ancient road rises and falls along the mountain, like two dragons hovering and soaring, symbolizing the "nine virtues" of Taoism. Taizipo is a must-see attraction of Wudang Mountain.

Recommended food: Wudang Taoist fast food

Taoist fasting in Wudang Mountain

After climbing Wudang Mountain, you can try the unique Taoist fast food in China. Wudang Taoist fast food is the main food of Taoist monks' daily diet and pilgrims' pilgrimage to the mountains. No meat, no fish, avoid rabbits, snakes, Monopterus albus, cattle, dogs, pork, raw onions, garlic and other irritating foods, mainly natural foods. Its raw materials are mainly plants and fruits (picked in the mountains and planted by Taoist priests), such as salted bamboo shoots, frozen tofu, walnuts, fungus, mushrooms, nine fairies and Polygonatum sibiricum, without any modern fertilizer. Taoist fast food banquet has a long history, which developed from ancient Taoist sacrificial ceremonies. It is really difficult to taste authentic Taoist vegetarian food in Wudang Mountain.

Travel tips:

1. Wudang Mountain Tickets: Wudang Mountain Entrance 140 yuan/person (excluding Jinding), Wudang Mountain Jinding 20 yuan/person. Wudang Mountain Tourism Environmental Protection sightseeing bus Ticket Price 70 yuan/person.

2. The altitude of Wudang Mountain is more than 1600 meters, and it will snow in winter, so the temperature on Wudang Mountain is lower than that in the town below. It is recommended to wear warm and light clothes when climbing mountains, and it is best to wear gloves and hats to keep out the wind. Wudang Mountain has steep stone steps and a lot of snow. Hikers had better wear non-slip hiking shoes.

There is a cable car in Wudang Mountain.

Yuzhen Palace in Restoration

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng used to practice medicine here. Later, Emperor Yongle went to Wudang Mountain to build the "Yu Zhen Palace" for Zhang Sanfeng, symbolizing that he met a real person. In a real palace, a bronze statue will be built for people to worship and officials will be sent to clean it. The emperor built a temple specially for a Wudang Taoist, which is unique in the history of Taoism in China.

In 2002, due to disrepair, Yu Zhen Palace suffered a fire. The main hall was burned down and the side halls were relatively well preserved. After the implementation of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the water level of Danjiangkou Reservoir will rise as a whole, and the local government decided to move it up as a whole when repairing Zhang Sanfeng's former residence. Donkey friends who visit Taiji Lake can have a look on the road.

2. Enter Wudang Mountain Wonderland.

It is said that after crossing the Xuanyue archway, you entered Wudang Mountain Wonderland. Despite hundreds of years of wind and rain, the archway is still well preserved, and the still beautiful pictures carved on it are still clearly visible. Seeing such a magnificent and exquisite building, it still stands intact between heaven and earth after a long tunnel, and I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients.
