Tai Chi Lake Water Tour

Travel Diary Table of Contents: 1. Wudang Mountain Two-Day Tour Guide. I heard from a friend that they went to Wudang Mountain and Tai Chi Lake and it was quite nice, which gave me the urge to go see it myself. Then I searched online. Wudang Mountain is located in Shiyan City in northwestern Hubei Province. It is a famous Taoist holy site in China. I wanted to experience the essence of 'Seeking Tao at Wudang Mountain, Health Preservation at Tai Chi Lake' – cultivating the mind on the mountain and nurturing the body at the foot. I planned a one-day tour route and schedule for myself. Travel date: May 10 to May 11. Two-day tour of Wudang and Tai Chi Lake. Arrived at Wudang Mountain around 3 PM, found a homestay for my family to stay. The room price was not expensive, over 300 yuan per room. After a quick freshening up, we went to the town to look for local snacks: hot dry noodles and wild vegetables. After eating, we strolled through the night market, then returned to the hotel. The next morning around 7 AM, we arrived at the entrance of Wudang Mountain Scenic Area. Parked the car and bought scenic area tickets, priced at 245 yuan per person. The staff told us to take the sightseeing bus towards the cable car direction. The bus also had a volunteer guide who gave me a preliminary understanding of Wudang Mountain along the way. As it turned out, the main deity enshrined here is the True Lord Zhenwu, not Zhang Sanfeng; Zhang Sanfeng is only the founder of Wudang martial arts. After a 40-minute ride, we arrived at Qiongtai. We took the cable car and bought round-trip tickets at 170 yuan per person. After getting off the cable car, we went to the Golden Summit ticket office and bought tickets for 27 yuan per person. We reached the Golden Hall to pray for safety. Add location. Add image description. Add location. Add image description. Coming out from Prince Slope, my third stop was at Crow Ridge (Wuyaling) for lunch. It was exactly 11:30. I heard the mountain delicacies at Wudang are delicious, so I ordered some local home-style dishes at a farmhouse restaurant: stir-fried bamboo shoots with bacon, scrambled eggs with step-by-step greens (a type of vegetable), and other earthy dishes. Add location. Crow Ridge is a reception center integrating accommodation, dining, and travel. After a full meal, the cost was not high – a bit over 200 yuan for five people. We took a short rest and had a cup of hot water. The service from the restaurant owner was really good. Then we walked to Nanyan Palace, which took about an hour round trip. It was well worth a visit and free! The 'Number One Incense Burner under Heaven' is located here. From the steep cliff, you can also overlook the Golden Summit and see the 'Seventy-Two Peaks Facing the Great Summit' spectacle. Add location. Add image description. Around 2:30 PM, we arrived at the fourth stop: Zixiao Palace. Zixiao Palace is the seat of the Taoist Association and requires a ticket: 15 yuan per person. The guide told me it is the best-preserved palace on Wudang Mountain and a royal Taoist temple. Inside, we saw the largest hall, Zixiao Hall, and sincerely worshipped the True Lord Zhenwu, praying for the health of my parents and family. Add location. Add image description. Having completed the last stop on Wudang Mountain, we descended to the Wudang parking lot and began our Tai Chi Lake water tour (drive or take the bus to Wudang Pier, enter the Tai Chi Lake water scenic area). The scenic area has no entrance fee, only tickets for various activities. You can choose activities based on age group. There are sightseeing, family, and challenge series products. I first bought tickets for the sightseeing cruise, priced at 128 yuan for a 50-minute boat ride. Seniors also have discounted tickets. The route starts from Wudang Pier to the statue of Laozi. Walking to the waiting area, we experienced the Taihe Illusion, which showcases Wudang culture, vividly telling the story of touring Wudang from the water. We arrived at the berthing area, boarded the boat, and set off. The scenery was beautiful – between the lake and mountains, we felt the beauty of Tai Chi Lake. We also saw the largest seated statue of Laozi in the country, listening to Laozi's teachings. The guide told me that Tai Chi Lake is also the water source for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, solving the water shortage problem for the capital Beijing. Add location. I took a random panoramic photo – it was really impressive. After the 50-minute cruise, I saw there was still time. The guide told me the weather was good today, so I organized my family to buy tickets for a speedboat based on the situation. It was really thrilling – super fast and very immersive. Add location.

The trip 'Seeking Tao at Wudang Mountain, Health Preservation at Tai Chi Lake' came to an end. I felt it was really good. My friend was right – it's not just about listening; you have to experience it yourself. I also learned a lot: knowing that Wudang Mountain was built in the Ming Dynasty, and understanding that Tai Chi Lake is the water source for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Everyone, feel free to come and experience it yourself!
