Taoist temples are places where Taoists offer sacrifices to their gods, cultivate vital energy and live. The Sacred Paths were constructed to facilitate people to make pilgrimages. The Wudang Mountains, home to imperial Taoist temples, have highly planned paths and courtyards. As a pilgrimage destination, the Wudang Mountains show the beautiful coexistence of emptiness and solidity and the harmony between yin and yang.

From the stone statue depicting a snake coiling around a tortoise to Zhenwu Emperor, from Earth to Heaven, and from the mountains to Taoist temples and the Sacred Paths—the Ancient Building Complex in the Wudang Mountains was highly planned, reflecting the fabulous imagination and creatively of the ancient Chinese.
