Bronze Architecture Above the Clouds
On Wudang Mountain, the Golden Hall and the sequence of Daoist buildings make mountain terrain part of an architectural world.
Wudang’s architectural ensemble occupies peaks, slopes and valleys within Shiyan. It developed over many centuries, with major Ming-period imperial patronage, and entered the World Heritage List in 1994. The Golden Hall on Tianzhu Peak is part of a larger religious landscape of palaces, cliffside shrines and paths. Lower sites such as Jingle Palace also connect the mountain’s history with the Danjiangkou reservoir.
