Introduction to West Wudang Mountain Taoist Cultural Park: On the top of Wudang Mountain, on the cliff, there is Zhenwu Palace, dedicated to Emperor Zhenwu. The entire building is a rectangular quadrangle, with a theater building and Kuixing Pavilion in the southeast, and a main hall in the north, with a statue of Zhenwu in the hall. A bronze mirror hangs behind the statue of Zhenwu. This mirror was first cast during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty and was named "Zhenwu Mirror". It is also known as the "demon mirror" among the people. There is a Taiyin Cave at the left foot of the mountain. It is said that it can obey the people's will and have miraculous effects of sunshine and rain. This is the power of the water god Xuanwu, so the people built a Jiaying temple to worship it.
