Wulong Palace
五龙宫
The site of Wudang's earliest imperial shrine, tucked away in a valley. Its surviving palace walls and restored halls are simple and quiet, ideal for hikers.
Wulong Palace lies below Lingying Peak on the north side of Tianzhu Peak. Its predecessor was the Wulong Shrine of the Tang dynasty, believed to be the earliest shrine on Wudang Mountain to be imperially commissioned. It was expanded into a grand palace in the Ming dynasty, but was later destroyed by fire. Only remnant palace walls, stele pavilions, and stone structures survive, and some halls have been restored in recent years. The site is far from the main routes, quiet, and surrounded by ancient trees, which suits visitors who enjoy hiking and historic sites. The roads are remote, so you need to drive or hike there. Confirm opening hours and transport with the scenic area before setting out.
