Wudang: temples and palaces among the mountain terrain

Useful to know

The ancient building complex in the Wudang Mountains, China, unites Taoist temples and palaces. Significant parts were organized during the Ming period, and the ensemble includes earlier tracks. [1]

When considering a plan, look for the sequence of places on the field. Not all important buildings have to stand on one flat site to form a composition. Climbing, distance and visibility are involved in the perception of the religious environment. Separate the general unity from the dating of the individual parts: a long-used mountain complex is not necessarily created in a single construction stage.
