Wikipedia

Wikipedia's article on the Wudang Mountains. Reliable for the site's standing as one of the Four Sacred Mountains of Taoism in China, centered on devotion to Xuantian Shangdi and functioning as the Taoist counterpart to the Buddhist Shaolin Monastery; for its association with the legendary Taoist hermit Zhang Sanfeng, credited with originating tai chi; for its Ming-dynasty building complex of nine palaces, nine monasteries, thirty six nunneries and seventy two temples, of which fifty three structures survive; and for the Ancient Building Complex's 1994 inscription on UNESCO's World Heritage List under cultural criteria i, ii and vi.
