Taoist Youth Cultivation Guide! Bookmark and revisit this

Top priority when visiting Wudang Mountain:
Reach the summit to burn incense and pray 🙏
For Wudang Golden Summit, plan a 3-day, 2-night trip
To conserve energy and avoid exhausting climbs,
Take the shuttle directly to Qiongtai Station, then ride the cable car to Golden Summit
Wudang Mountain's commercial vibe is refreshingly light—
Perfect for spiritual cultivation!

1️⃣
After arriving at Shiyan Station or Wudangshan Station,
Take a bus to Wudang Mountain entrance
Purchase a full pass (includes unlimited shuttle rides)
Golden Summit cable car round-trip: 💰150, or hike 6 hours
I prefer the cable car—saves time, and an early ascent shows sincerity 👏
So I headed straight to Qiongtai
After travel fatigue, rested briefly at the hotel
Explored nearby to get oriented
Unwound with afternoon tea—
Taoist youth sipping Taoist Bagua coffee ☕️🎉
Stayed at the year-old 【Cloud Beyond Homestay】
Wabi-sabi aesthetic, deeply atmospheric
Facing Qiongtai parking lot for easy access
Best part? Hotel, dining, and tea all in one—
Ideal for lazy souls like me

2️⃣
Post-breakfast, 10-min walk to cable car
Incense prices are similar whether bought downhill or uphill
15-min cable ride, then a short mountain path
Multiple temples along the way for continuous prayers 🙏
Final destination: 【Golden Hall】 atop Tianzhu Peak
Built with 100-million-year-old abyssal rocks—
When misty, it’s pure celestial realm!
Devoutly bowed three times before descending

3️⃣
Day 3: Another early start
Visit 【Zhongguan Temple】 at Qiongtai—
Wudang’s only Sanqing Temple 🙏
Coincidentally went on Lunar 15th
Morning head-incense offering: virtue points +10086!
Returned for hearty hotel breakfast—bliss!
P.S. Their Hubei cuisine is delicious
Ate till stuffed daily 😅👍
Staff were exceptionally helpful and responsive
First time feeling zero hiking fatigue 😄
Overall, a supremely comfortable journey 🧳
