The renowned Wudang Mountain continues to captivate the hearts of many, drawing in over 70,000 international tourists every year.

Known for its rich history of martial arts and breathtaking natural landscapes, the Wudang Mountain has become a favored location for movies and TV shows.
Located in central China's Hubei Province, the Wudang Mountain has been known for its magnificent architecture and close association with the spirit of martial arts since ancient times.
The mountain's fame has grown internationally through popular movies, and its iconic sites such as the Carefree Valley, the Zixiao Palace, and the Golden Summit are often featured in major martial arts films, including the American martial arts drama movie "The Karate Kid."
The Zixiao Palace, one of the most well-preserved palaces on the Wudang Mountain, appears as an important scene in the movie, starring Jackie Chan. The unique upturned eaves, brackets, red walls and green tiles of the Zixiao Palace fully display oriental architectural aesthetics.
As the highest point of the Wudang Mountain and an important symbol of martial arts culture, the Golden Summit also frequently appears in major martial arts movies.
"From a young age I watched a lot of Kung Fu movies, and these really influenced me a lot to come here. Of course 'the Karate Kid' was shot right here. My Shifu (master) actually had a small part in the movie. So here the Carefree Valley is where they did all their training, where they prepared to climb the mountain. When they walk on the mountain, almost to the top, they see a bunch of Kung Fu masters, and there's a moment of a master doing stuff, doing some movements, and that's my Shifu. So just a moment, but all of the people in that part of the video are actual martial artists from Wudang. So that's very special," said Jake Pinnick, an American.
The Wudang Mountain has attracted tourists from all over the world, including Pinnick, who came to China in 2010. Now a 16th-generation San Feng Pai disciple, Pinnick has contributed to the cultural exchange and integration between eastern and western civilizations over the years.
With the visa-free policy, this number of international tourists to the Wudang Mountain is showing a steady growth.
"I opened a blog to share information about the temples within the Wudang Mountain, which are definitely worth visiting. With the express train and the airport, it's much easier for people to visit Wudang," said Marc V. a French blogger.
