It is recommended to take the cable car up and down the mountain. There are no special attractions or scenery when descending from the Golden Summit, only endless steps. Those who are not physically fit and do not want to climb the mountain must take the cable car. Children under 6 are not recommended to come as the steps are steep.

🌟 Recommended attractions
1️⃣Golden Summit Taihe Palace
The Golden Hall is located on the main peak of Wudang Mountain, Yitian Peak, at an altitude of 1,612 meters. There is a 600-year-old eternal lamp in the hall. On a clear day, you can see a 360-degree sea of clouds and sunrise. (Cash is required for drawing lots, CNY 30/lot💰)
2️⃣Taizipo
The red walls built along the mountain on the ancient road are winding and tall, like waves, with varying heights. (You can take more photos here, as you may be too tired to take photos later on🧗)
3️⃣Nanyan Palace
The palace is built on a cliff, and it is said that Lü Dongbin once practiced Taoism here. There is a stone carving protruding from the cliff, which is commonly known as the "Dragon Head Incense." (Nanyan Scenic Area is still under renovation until December 31, only the main hall can be visited)
4️⃣Zixiao Palace
A Ming Dynasty palace building covering an area of 274,000 square meters. The surrounding mountains naturally form a treasure chair with two dragons playing with a pearl, which was named "Zixiao Blessed Land" by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty.
