Wǔdāng

Wǔdāng Mountain rises above the valleys of northwestern Húběi, its temples and palaces dedicated to Daoist worship. A bronze hall cast in 1307 bears the marks of the Wǔchāng workshop that made its pieces, assembled like a timber building. In 1412 the Míng court expanded the Nányán Palace as part of a great programme of building on the mountain.
