Wudang mountain self-help tour

The beauty of Wudang's scenic spots lies in the fusion of its fairyland-like natural landscape and colorful human landscape. The natural landscape of Wudang Mountain is dominated by males, which has the characteristics of multiple beauty such as danger, strangeness, seclusion and beauty. Since the Yuan Dynasty, its scenic spots have been called 72 peaks, 36 rocks, 24 streams, 1 1 caves, 3 pools, 9 springs, 10 rocks and 9 platforms. The ancients were named after the gods of landforms or beliefs, weaving countless beautiful and touching myths and legends. The main peak, Tianzhu Peak, is 16 12 meters above sea level, which is like a pillar of gold casting jade carving and is known as the "pillar of heaven". There are many strange peaks around the main peak, which compete for each other, but they all bend over to face the main peak, creating a spectacle of "coming from thousands of mountains". Golden couple Mountain flies, raises its mane and holds its head high; The Lion Peak plays around Yun Biao, just like Da Yue's incense table, giving people the association of "the sun and the moon are the pillars"; Three old peaks, such as jade bamboo shoots and Yao ginseng, flutter in clouds, giving people the enjoyment of "the princess is really good at singing"; Streams around the main peak, hanging rocks haunted by rare birds and animals, smoking caves, fertile ponds and pools, etc. It constitutes a magnificent long scroll of painters and becomes a wonder of the world.

July 13:

15: 42 Take T 10 from Beijing West Railway Station (Beijing West-Chongqing) and prepare to go to Shiyan City, Hubei Province.

July 14:

Arrive at Shiyan station at 6: 45. After picking up the station, my friend drove directly to Wudang Mountain and had breakfast in Liu Liping all the way. Shiyan Railway Station has many shuttle buses to Wudang Mountain Railway Station, and the fares are said to be 6 yuan or 5 yuan. It takes about 40 to 50 minutes. Wudang Mountain Railway Station is only 1 km from Wudang Mountain Scenic Area, which is about 1 yuan by motorcycle and less than 20 minutes' walk. The location of Wudang Mountain used to be called Wudang Mountain Town, which belongs to Danjiangkou, a county-level city below Shiyan City. Because of its rich tourism resources and rich tax revenue, it has now become a special zone of Shiyan City, which is directly managed by Shiyan City.

Arrive at the entrance of Wudang Mountain Scenic Area at 7: 45. Buy a ticket, the fare is 180 yuan (ticket 1 10 yuan, the fare is 70 yuan), the elderly students are half-price, the insurance is 2 yuan, and the tourist map is 3 yuan (voluntary purchase). Private cars are not allowed to enter Wudang Mountain Scenic Area. You need to take the green car in the scenic area from the gate to the scenic spot and scenic spots. Because today's weather forecast is sunny to cloudy, I didn't bring a poncho, but it rained a little at this time, so I bought a disposable raincoat near the entrance of the scenic spot, 3 yuan, 8 yuan, 1 yuan.

At 8 o'clock, go to the scenic spot to protect the car. The car TV of eco-car is playing the introduction of Wudang Mountain scenic spot all the way. I was so absorbed in the introduction that I didn't study the tourist map carefully. Along the way, I passed the "grinding needle well" (now called Fu Zhenguan) and other scenic spots. Legend has it that Emperor Zhenwu once became a monk and learned Taoism, but when he encountered hardships, his heart was cold and he wanted to give up practice. When he came to this place, he met an old woman (the incarnation of a fairy). She ground an iron bar on a stone and prepared to grind it into a needle to touch him. After being inspired and practicing, you will eventually achieve positive results. There is also a well and an iron bar to encourage people.

At 8: 50, the scenic eco-car arrived at Qiongtai Transfer Station. Tourists began to get off. After reading the map, I asked the driver why he didn't go to crow ridge. The driver said that the train only goes to Qiongtai, but he can take me to Taizipo and change trains to Wuyuling. It takes more than 30 minutes to get to Taizipo and more than 20 minutes to get to Wuyuling. It turns out that Qiongtai, Taizipo and Wuyaling are two routes. If you want to hike to Jinding, the highest peak of Wudang Mountain, you usually take an eco-car to Wuyaling, and then climb to Jinding from Qianshan or Houshan. Visitors to Qiongtai usually go to Jinding by cable car. Here's a problem. There is a tour group in my eco-car If they want to take the cable car, the driver will take it for granted to go to Qiongtai (I suspect that it may be intentional to let tourists take the cable car to earn money). And occasionally I want to climb the mountain to Jinding. Here, I want to condemn the tour guide in the scenic spot. They should tell tourists how to take the bus after registration. I also want to condemn the driver of the eco-car When I arrived at Qiongtai, he told me that I could only go to Jinding by cable car, and he also put the blame on the tour guide. Looking at a path from Qiongtai to Jinding on the tourist map, I don't want to waste my time on the bus.

After getting off the eco-car, I asked the locals about the location of the path leading to Jinding. Someone told me that the path existed, which was the road leading to Jinding before the cable car was built. The road conditions are not good, many of them are dirt roads, because it is not easy to walk because of rain, and there are forks in the road. It's ok to go on a sunny day, but I dare not go now, because it rained heavily yesterday and there is still light rain now, so it's easy to escape. Let's take the cable car.

I don't want to take the cable car, and I don't believe in evil. I'm determined to climb the Jinding. When you enter Qiongtai, just stroll around the neighborhood first, and by the way, make sure that the climbing road is clear.

At nine o'clock, travel to Qiongtai. Knowing that the price of the cable car is 50 yuan, the Taoist priest in Qiongtai also told me that the path can go up the mountain. As long as you look at the route of the cable car, you can't go wrong.

Looking 20 meters to the left of Qiongtai, you can see a warning sign of "fire prevention in scenic spots, alarm bells ringing", and the path up the mountain starts from here. It is not wrong to follow the main road principle and the right hand road principle.

At the beginning, the path bypasses the red fence in the middle of Qiongtai, and you will meet a family and pass by on the right.

At half past nine, we arrived at an open place and the path widened.

At 9: 47, I saw the scenic spot sign saying "picturesque scenic spot, environmental protection depends on everyone" and "care for Wudang Fairy Mountain, return to life safety". At this time, I am sure that the route is correct. You can see the cable car in the distance on some sections along the way. It's just a light rain, and it's foggy, so I can't see far away. Moreover, the rainwater oozing from the mountain flows along the path and walks muddy.

10: 37, we arrived at a platform, where there was a fork in the road, and we could see a red warning sign hanging on the tree, "No smoking outdoors, no fire". Go up on the left side of the fork road, the road is more spacious, more like the main road (it is estimated that you can also reach Jinding, but it is recommended not to try), and go down on the right side of the fork road, which is closer to the cable car line, so I chose this road.

There are stone steps in some sections along the way, and stone pavilions can be seen by the roadside. It is estimated that before the cable car was built, many tourists took this path up the mountain. At that time, local people set up stalls here, and now tourists take cable cars, leaving only these stone stalls here.

10: 55, the cable car was found overhead, and the route was almost perpendicular to the cable car route. At this time, I found a fork in the road on the right, which was not as obvious as the upward road on the left. Observe the direction of the cable car (up and down) and judge that the left side is closer to Jinding. Select the upper left row.

Soon I came to an open place, and the green sign of "Qiongtai-Jinding Car Terminal" was hung on the tree. There were many forks in the road, which was estimated to be the path up the mountain before. Select the left row.

1 1: 07 After meeting the steps, I saw tourists marching here and knew that this was Qian Shan Road from Wuyuling to Jinding. Select the upper left row.

1 1: 12 arrives at the intersection of the upper station of the ropeway. Here is a road sign, which shows that it is 4 kilometers away from Wuyuling (Qianshan). Here is the platform, with seats to rest and accommodation in the "Jinding VIP Building". At this time, the light rain has stopped. Thanks to the cool weather today, I can't imagine how much more sweat I would have if it were sunny.

1 1: 25 arrived at the palace. Turn a circle, the hall is very distinctive, brick and wood structure, the hall hung in the Qing Dynasty Daoguang imperial pen.

There are three routes where the Imperial Classroom is located. One is the occasional route, the Qian Shan route from Wu Yuling to Jinding. This route is relatively gentle, but there are fewer scenic spots. One is the downhill slope on the left, from Jinding to Raven Ridge. This route is steep, but there are many scenic spots. The other right line is Jinding. Turn right to the Jinding ticket office. Jinding Scenic Area also needs to purchase additional tickets for 20 yuan, and students can share one ticket.

From the ticket office to the right is the transfer hall, which can go around the Buddha statue. The gap is small and dark, but it's interesting. In front of the ticket office is the Halloween Pavilion. On the left of the ticket office is Taihe Palace, which is a hall with an imperial monument made of all copper in front. From the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the right is the ticket office of Jinding.

After entering the ticket gate, you arrive at the Forbidden City. The Jinding is surrounded by a wall more than 300 meters long, and there is a watchtower on the wall in the distance.

You must walk counterclockwise when crossing the Forbidden City, otherwise there will be crowding and trampling. Go straight to Lingguan Hall. There is a saying that the emperor can't reach Jinding himself. It seems that the emperor will be the last day, so the emperor will send a Lingguan to worship in Jinding instead of himself, so he built the Lingguan Hall here. There are some stone tablets in front of the door, engraved with imperial edicts or something.

Climb the steep slope behind Lingguan Temple and reach Jinding Jin Dian. This time is 12: 00.

Jin Dian is located in Jinding, the top of Tianzhu Peak in Wudang Mountain. It was built in the 14th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (14 16). The temple is 5.54 meters high, 4.4 meters wide and 3. 15 meters deep, all of which are copper-plated wood-like structures. Although it has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain and lightning, it is still golden. It should be a bright pearl in China's ancient architecture and casting technology. The statues, boxes and sacrificial vessels in the temple are all made of copper. The bronze statue of Zhenwu Emperor in the temple weighs 10,000 Jin. In front of the temple, two bronze cranes stand opposite each other, revealing the charm of Taoist idle clouds and wild cranes. Sumeru in front of the Golden Temple is made up of two huge stones 4 meters wide, 7 meters long and weighing 100 tons, which is a must.

There is an incense burner in front of the golden palace and a parents' hall behind it.

12: 10 began to descend the mountain. Go right from Yujingtang and choose to go down from Houshan.

12: 25 arrive at a square under the pilgrimage gate. There is an icon here, and there is a fork in the road on the left, which leads to the bell tower and the Qinghui Palace. On the right is the pilgrimage gate. Go left, and you will soon see the signpost of the bell tower. There is a fork in the road on the right, which can bypass the hajj gate and lead to Santianmen. There is a building on the left, which is a hotel. Go straight along the signpost of the bell tower, and soon you will see a big bronze bell. There are signposts indicating the road ahead to the Qinghui Palace. Ask the local people to know that there are still five miles to go. The road is under construction and it is not easy to walk.

Go back to the square under the pilgrimage gate. After lunch, turn right and walk towards the hajj gate.

/kloc-arrive at the pilgrimage gate at 0/2: 50. There are signposts here, 4 kilometers to crow ridge.

12: 58 There is a fork in the road on the left, which connects with the fork on the right of the bell tower road sign.

13: 02 There is a path on the right side of the road, leading to a small temple formed by a small cave on the mountain, and the words "wonderful dharma realm" are written on the top of the temple.

13: 08 arrived at santianmen.

13: 10 arrived at Ertianmen. It's even more difficult to go down the steep slope all the way.

13: 18 arrived in Huixian Bridge. There are food stalls here.

/kloc-arrive at Tianmen at 0/3: 28.

13: 37 Arrive at Hei Hu Cave. Taoist priest pulled me to tell my fortune, but I ignored him and knew it was all a lie.

/kloc-arrive at Chaotian Palace at 0/3: 42 and go for a walk. Chaotian Palace is the dividing point of the route from Wuyaling to Jinding Qianshan Houshan, and the center of T-junction. Going straight from Chaotian Palace is the route from Qianshan to Jinding that ordinary tourists often take, and going left from Chaotian Palace is the route from downhill to Wuyaling. Select the left downlink.

13: 50 We met a fork in the road, going to Huanglong Cave on the right and going down to Wuyuling on the left. Select the row on the right.

/kloc-arrive at Huanglong cave at 0/3: 52. Huanglong Cave is a cave located on the cliff of Zigai Peak. This is a natural rock house. After several generations of practitioners to build and supplement. There are buildings such as Huanglong Hall, Zhenwu Pavilion, Wangyao Hall and Shenquan Pavilion, which are even more mysterious and deep. There are springs in Huanglong Cave, and the four seasons are inexhaustible. Legend has it that a Huanglong ascended to heaven, and Huanglong left the elixir to thank him for his upbringing here. The elixir makes the water here cool and sweet, and can cure all diseases. Legend belongs to legend, but it is true that Li Shizhen, a great doctor of Ming Dynasty, went to Wudang to collect herbs and lived here. According to records, Li Shizhen revised his masterpiece Compendium of Materia Medica in Huanglong Cave, which included more than 800 kinds of precious medicinal materials in Wudang Mountain.

Now many coins have been put into the spring water of Huanglong Cave by tourists, so the water can't be drunk naturally. The Taoist priest next to them said it could be used to scrub eyes or something. There is the word "one yuan of water" by the spring.

Go back to the fork in the road and continue downhill to crow ridge.

13: 56 Arrive at Sheung Shui Bridge.

/kloc-arrive at Huanglong Pavilion at 0/4: 00. There is a small temple nearby, and there are also Taoist priests who pull people to tell their fortune. Ignore it.

14: 05 arrive at the water bridge.

14: 06 arrived at the Four Corners Tower, and several towers were quite distinctive.

/kloc-Arrive at Moon Emperor at 0/4: 30.

14: 35 Reach the wall sculpture of "World Famous Mountain".

/kloc-arrive at Langmei Temple at 0/4: 42. There is a fork in the road. On the left, the 1.6 highway goes to Southern Yan, and Southern Yan is a ring road, which finally leads to crow ridge. Go straight to Langmei Temple, and then go to Raven Ridge. Choose the left, there are many scenic spots and the distance is long.

15: 08 When you meet a fork in the road, the road on the left leads to Southern Yan Palace and the road on the right leads to Hong Jun Cave, which is the end road. Choose the right line and have a look. It's very close. This is a rock house with a gong table. Nothing special. Go back to the fork in the road and continue to extend the palace to the south.

Soon I met a fork in the road with no road sign. It is estimated that it is a newly built road and there is no time to erect it. The road on the right is estimated to lead down to a small scenic spot, which is also the end road. Choose the road on the left and go up.

/kloc-arrive at Feishengyan at 0/5: 20, which is a high platform and a benevolent passage.

Get to the dresser.

/kloc-arrive at the backyard of Xuandi Hall of Nanyan Palace at 0/5: 30, which is where Nanyan is located. Nanyan is one of the 36 most beautiful rocks in Wudang Mountain, also known as Duyang Rock and Zixiao Rock. It is a "holy land" that Taoism calls the land of true martial arts and the way to take off. Nanyan Peak is steep and shaded by trees. The top is connected with Bixiao, and the bottom is a unique stream. According to legend, Lv Dongbin, a native of the Tang Dynasty, practiced in Nanyan.

The main existing landscapes are Southern Yan Palace, Taichangguan, Raytheon Cave and Raven Temple.

In the backyard of Xuandi Hall, there is a fork road leading to the Imperial Classics Hall, Longtou Lane and Tianyi Zhenqing Palace. Choose this road. It will arrive soon. Here I want to talk about burning "dragon head incense". A barrel-thick stone dragon poked its 2.9-meter-long body out of the cliff, and below it was the abyss. Shilong carved flowers step by step, and the incense burner was on the tap. Every time the incense is held, thousands of good men and women come from thousands of miles away, waving flags, gongs and drums and fragrant paper. In order to light a wick incense in front of the face of the "ancestor" and knock on the head. Some made a big wish for their father or for themselves, and then walked step by step to the faucet on the carved dragon, inserted a incense burner and turned back. How many dutiful sons and believers have fallen into the abyss that makes people dizzy at first sight. Of course, this is a distant past, and burning dragon head incense has long been banned. There is a wooden door locked in front of the dragon head incense.

There are "Golden Bell Hood" and "Dragon Palace Trial Run" games near Longtou Lane, where tourists can vote with coins, and there is also a coin exchange office. Is to cheat tourists of money in disguise. There is also a scenic spot called Dragon Bed, which is quite distinctive.

Return to Xuandi Hall by the original road, turn around and go down. This is 15: 50.

His Royal Highness Xuan Di left the "Wudang Mountain Ancient Architecture Exhibition" and went in for a walk. His Royal Highness Xuan Di has "nectar holy water", which is an ancient well with water in it, not very deep.

15: 55, turn right at Southern Yan Palace. On the left side of the road is a 753-year-old ginkgo tree covered with red stripes.

/kloc-Arrive at Xiaotianmen at 0/6: 00, unmarked, and be introduced by a passing tour guide.

16: 05 met a fork in the road, which leads to Wulong Palace on the left, and there is a small tower on the side, which is very old.

16: 08, when you meet a fork in the road, take the left road to Raytheon Cave and Taichangguan. This road actually reached the worse gate first. Going straight is to bypass the Nantianmen and lead to the Wuyaling parking lot. Select the left row.

16: 10 arrives at the worse gate. The fork on the left leads to Raytheon Cave and Taichangguan, which is about 400 miles away, so I turned around and went back. There is a road leading to Wulong Palace.

Go straight from the worse gate, and you will soon meet a fork in the road, and the right side leads to the fork in the road where 16: 08 met. Choose to go straight

16: 24 arrived at the stone tablet of Feishengya Reservoir.

16: 26 arrived at the crow ridge tourist center. There is a strange place here. When tourists go to Wuyaling, the eco-car in the scenic spot is sent directly to the visitor center, and when they return down the mountain, they must walk about 500 meters along the asphalt road in the visitor center to get on the bus. There are shops along the way. It is estimated that in order to take care of the business of the shop, the scenic spot deliberately let tourists walk hundreds of meters more. If so, it should be belittled.

I got on the bus and walked to the gate at the foot of the mountain. There are many scenic spots along the way. I didn't get off to see them because I had to go back to Beijing by bus at night. They are temples and so on.

16: 40, the scenic eco-car stopped at Zixiao Palace to attract customers and did not get off. Located in the northeast of Tianzhu Peak, Zixiao Palace was built in the 11th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (14 13), and it is one of the well-preserved temples on Wudang Mountain. The main scenic spots are Dragon and Tiger Hall, Tang Shifang, Zixiao Hall, Jiayin Mountain, Parents Hall, East Palace, West Palace and Prince Rock. Near Zixiao Palace is Wudang Mountain Martial Arts College.

16: 55 The eco-car in the scenic spot stops at Xiaoyao Valley to attract customers, but does not get off. Xiaoyao Valley is a canyon leading to mountains. Nice scenery. There are mountains, water, bridges, trees and flowers. If you are lucky, you can still see monkeys. Xiaoyao Valley is about 10 kilometers long and goes up to Qiongtai Station. It is said that ordinary tourists only enter the valley for about 300 meters to see monkeys, and then return.

17: 00, the scenic eco-car stopped at Taizipo to attract customers and didn't get off. Prince's Slope is backed by Lion Mountain, facing the secluded valley of thousands of feet, facing Tianchi on the right, thousands of feet Waterfall when it rains, and 18 plates on the left, so the road is elegant. According to legend, the prince's will to practice is not strong, and he wants to go down the mountain and return to the customs. When you meet an old man, you grind the needle with an iron pestle, and then go back to the mountains to practice hard here, so this is called restoring the true view. Known as a mirage, the ancient building of Taizipo was built in the 10th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (14 12). It was rebuilt three times in the first year of Kangxi (1662), the twenty-third year and the twenty-ninth year of Qing Dynasty. Now it has basically maintained the scale of that year, and it is a larger unit in Wudang Mountain complex. From a distance, it looks like a lotus wave, and from a close look, it looks like a red wall and stops around the moon. Among them, Wuyun Building is made of wood structure, hard hilltop, small blue tile roof and beam wooden frame, and the fifth floor is made of rock wall. There are 12 beams on the top floor, which overlap each other and are supported by a column. This is a masterpiece of ancient wooden architecture with "one column and twelve beams", and it is also a famous scene of Taizipo.

17: 15 arrived at the mountain gate. On the right side of the asphalt road near the mountain gate, there is a clearing. If you want to get free tickets, you can come in from here, but you can't take the scenic green car. You need to walk to a scenic spot where you can transfer to an eco-car, such as Taizipo, but the distance is quite far. There is also a free ticket route for other donkey friends, which is quoted here: first go to Liu Liping (near Wudang Mountain), or go to Haokou, about 4 kilometers from the entrance of Wulong Highway, with an elevated railway bridge on it. Wulong Highway runs along a small river, 5.5 kilometers to Lujia Village Village, with a bridge. The highway crosses the bridge on the left and goes around the mountain. Don't cross the bridge, take the path up the hill on the left side of the village and go straight. After about 35 minutes, you can see the expressway again. Go straight, pass the wall of the hut, reach Hippo Peak in 5 minutes, and meet the expressway. There is a monument on the right. Turn right ahead and take a shortcut. You can see the highway below. After about 10 minutes, you can meet the expressway again, turn right and walk along the expressway. Below the left side of the highway is the Ruins of People's Weiguan, with only one foundation, about 15. It takes about 25 minutes to walk halfway up the mountain. There are countless stones. At the end of the road on the left, you can see a small temple in front. This is Yin Xianyan (asking for directions at this time). Turn left, go up the hill at a fork in the road, and go down to the right. After crossing the mountain, there is an abandoned house foundation on the roadside. Then, cross the mountain and pass by the hut. When you see someone (asking for directions), you can go down another mountain ahead. There are steps on the mountain road, which is an ancient Shinto. After visiting Wulong Palace, take the ancient road to Nanyan. Wulonggong to Nanyan Ancient Road is about 12- 13 kilometers, and the whole journey is expected to take 4 hours. Pass Huayangyan, Sima Bridge, Xia Yuan, Zhongyuan and Shangyuan. Find a guide from Wulong Palace to lead the way. About 70 minutes later, on the right, there is a huge dripping rock. Go down, cross the river to the right and climb the mountain to the right in the Woods. After about 70 minutes, you finally see the TV tower in Nanyan, then walk 10 minutes to see a farmer, and go up the mountain from the left-about 40 minutes to Beitianmen. You can see many temples in Nanyan, and then walk for about 10 minutes.

You can walk from the entrance of Wudang Mountain 1 km to Wudang Mountain Railway Station, take the train from Shiyan 18: 18, and arrive at Beijing West the next day 12: 53. I choose to take T 19: 48 from Chongqing to Beijing West at Shiyan Railway Station, and arrive at Beijing West at T 10: 54 the next day.

My friend is waiting for me at the entrance of Wudang Mountain. I will drive 18: 05 to Shiyan and have dinner at Benwei Square. Benweifang is a local hotel chain, because of its low price and good quality, its business is booming. Braised catfish, bumper harvest and home-made vermicelli are all very distinctive. You can try it sometime.

19: 48 Take T 10 from Shiyan Railway Station (Chongqing-Beijing West).

July 15:

10: 54 The train arrived at Beijing West Railway Station, ending the trip to Wudang Mountain.

Important note:

1. Some sections along the way have stone guardrails with many bedbugs on them. Be careful and help when climbing.

2. Before taking the eco-car in Wudang Mountain Scenic Area, be sure to ask the specific destination of the car to avoid going in the wrong direction.

3. Some Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain are not very kind. For example, Taoist priests in the Heavenly Palace will talk to you about their faces when they meet tourists and induce you to tell your fortune. Don't believe it. This is all a scam.

Wudang Mountain is rainy and humid in summer, please take rain gear.
