North Wudang | The first famous mountain in Shanxi, it takes courage and physical strength to climb the ladder to heaven

Mountains always give people a sense of solemnity. North Wudang Mountain is no exception. It is the birthplace of Taoism in China and the holy land of Taoism in the north. It is known as the first famous mountain in Shanxi. Its majestic and beautiful posture can evoke different feelings in people, as if it can arouse the ambition in people's hearts. North Wudang Mountain, formerly known as Dragon King Mountain, is located in Fangshan County, Lvliang City, Shanxi Province. It consists of 72 peaks, 32 cliffs, and 24 streams. The vegetation is lush, with a forest coverage rate of over 70%. It combines the majesty of Mount Tai, the wonder of Huangshan, the danger of Huashan, the beauty of Emei, and the seclusion of Qingcheng Mountain. In the deep autumn, the forests of North Wudang Mountain are all dyed, which is very beautiful. Plus, there was fog that day, like entering a fairyland in the sky, both dreamy and illusory, making the scenery even more charming. Quickly bring your family or friends to commemorate this autumn by climbing! 🌈Highlights: ✅The main peak, Zhenwu Peak, is 1983 meters above sea level. Almost all around are cliffs. Only one man-made ladder can be climbed. The ladder has about 1450 steps. The dangerous places have railings and iron ropes. Tourists can hear the melodious and paused 'stone sound' every step they take. ✅Turtle Snake Stone: Also known as the Wind Moving Stone, it is one of the rare landscapes in our country. The ten-thousand-pound 'turtle stone' stands on the edge of the cliff. With a push or a blow from the wind, it will shake and be about to fall, which is frightening. ✅There are Taoist temples, stone carvings, murals, clay sculptures and other landscapes in the mountain, as well as the world's rare brown pheasant, as well as leopards, musk deer, and roe deer and other large mammals. 🎫Ticket: 72 yuan, sightseeing car fee 10 yuan/time ⏰Opening hours: 8:00~18:00 🚘Transportation: It is inconvenient to take the bus, it is recommended to drive by yourself, which is more convenient and comfortable
