Description

Taken during the hike to the top of the Mt.Wudang, the peak that is famous in China for being the birthplace of Taichi.

"As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty (25–220 AD), the mountain attracted the Emperor's attention. During the Tang Dynasty (618–907), the first site of worship—the Five Dragon Temple—was constructed. The monasteries and buildings were made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. The palaces and temples in Wudang, which were built as an organized complex during the Ming Dynasty (14th–17th centuries), contain Taoist buildings from as early as the 7th century. It represents the highest standards of Chinese art and architecture over a period of nearly 1,000 years." (Wikipedia)


Sadly, the weather was not good: there was practically no visibility above a certain altitude. It was a good four hour hike nevertheless.
