Daming Peak, Shiyan, Hubei | A fairyland hidden in Hubei.

| A fairyland hidden in Hubei. Daming Peak is located in Guanshan Town, Danjiangkou City, Shiyan, Hubei, on the west side of Wudang Mountain, 14 km from Tianzhu Peak, and facing Jinding. After five years of construction and billions of investment, the scenic area opened on September 22. Daming Peak, also known as Zhutou Rock, Wuzhu Peak, and Zhenwu Statue, is 1,278 meters above sea level and the 45th of the 72 peaks of Wudang Mountain. The three peaks of Daming Peak stand side by side, with the two peaks on either side resembling chairs. The middle peak is 218 meters high and 99 meters wide, with a round face, deep eyes, high nose, and hands on knees. The white pine on top of the peak looks like a bun, forming a natural stone statue of Zhenwu sitting in meditation. The statue faces Jinding and shines in the sun. Legend has it that this is the natural stone statue left by the Great Emperor Zhenwu after he attained enlightenment at Daming Peak. It is a masterpiece of nature, like the Xuanwu of Wudang Mountain, and its mysterious connotation is enough to inspire endless reverie. In autumn, the forest is sparse and the leaves are red. We climbed up the mountain, winding and circling, and reached the top of Daming Peak at noon, where we saw flying dragons, jade carvings, pine trees, distant mountains, and a sea of clouds. 📍 Wudang Daming Peak (Danjiangkou) [Accommodation] Daming Peak Wellness Hotel 🏨 is over 200 per night, with four-star facilities, near the commercial street, very convenient.
