Mount Wudang (at various times also known as Tai He and Xuan Yue) is in the northwest of
Hubei Province, China. It is one of the most famous of all the Daoist sacred mountains, the
legendary birthplace of Taijiquan and a centre for the inner alchemy training of Neidan.
It
is
an
area
of
200
square
miles
with
72
peaks
and
36
cliffs.
During
its
heyday
in
the
Ming
dynasty,
it
had
9
main
temples,
9
palaces,
12
pavilions,
36
halls,
39
bridges
and
72
cave
temples. It is now a world heritage site and many buildings have been restored.
The
particular
exercises
devised
at
Wudang
mountain
as
basic
training
are
not
just
for
health
but also as the precurser to all Wudang skills.
