These mountains are considered to be sacred for Taoists. According to a legend, an important ruler, the emperor Zhenwu, considered the forefather of Taoism, was born here. In the local monasteries, we can see unique historical artifacts, such as musical instruments, sacrificial vessels, written or graphically decorated stone boards, Taoist sacred texts and other. The complex of architectural monuments in the Wudang Mountains were registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994..
