Wuduo Mountain lies in the west of Nanzhao County and is named after its five peaks, which look like five lotus blossoms. It is a famous Taoist sacred site in southwestern Henan. Legend says Emperor Zhenwu cultivated his practice here, and a Zhenwu Temple stands on the summit, where pilgrims come in large numbers. The scenic area is a national 4A-level site, with hiking trails, a cable car, gorges and waterfalls, and seas of clouds after rain. Admission and cable car fares vary, so check on site. Allow 4–5 hours. The mountain is about 60 km from Nanyang city centre.
