Danjiangkou City

Home to the Taoist holy mountain Wudang, where a World Heritage ancient building complex and the lake-and-mountain scenery of the Danjiangkou Reservoir complement each other.

Danjiangkou City lies in northwestern Hubei and is administered by Shiyan. The Han River forms the Danjiangkou Reservoir here, the water source for the central route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Mount Wudang is a Taoist holy site and the birthplace of Wudang martial arts; its Ming-dynasty temple complexes, including the Golden Summit, Purple Cloud Palace and Southern Cliff Palace, are World Heritage-listed. The Danjiangkou Reservoir has clear water, ideal for lake views and fresh fish dishes. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for climbing and sightseeing. The Hanshi High-Speed Railway has a Wudangshan Station, or you can fly to Shiyan Wudangshan Airport and transfer.
