Shiyan

Shiyan is a city in Northwest Hubei Province, central China. In Shiyan, Wudangshan Mountains is the most famous beautiful attraction with a fascinating history.    

Wudang Mountains or Wudang Shan
The Wudang mountain range is located in the northwestern corner of the Hubei province. It is UNESCO world heritage site and it‘s main access town is Wudangshan town. From there it is another 45 minutes drive to Nanyan up in the mountains. You can stay there overnight. As this place is the main tourist draw the following article will mainly focus on the area around Nanyan. The region around the Wudangshan mountains is the birthplace of the Taichi martial art. Landscape - The whole Wudang mountain range consists of a few tens of peaks. The hightest mountain is Wudang Shan with an elevation of 1612m.

Top things to do is to study Kung Fu. Wudang Kung Fu is one of the two most famous styles of Chinese martial arts. There are many schools to choose from in the Wudang area. You can study for a day or for years.

Be wary of schools that ask for full payment in advanced. There are many fake and bad schools. Never agree to pay for more than a month ahead of time. If you don't have any trouble getting a visa than you should not make any commitments to any school before arriving. Every legitimate school has it's positive and negative points. You should try to find a school that fits. If you can not find a independent review of a school on a blog or website, than it is either fake or new. Proceed with cation. I have yet to meet a genuine master that can speak fluent English, but I have met a couple fake masters who can speak pretty well. You have to consider how much time it takes to master kungfu, and how much time it takes to master a foreign language. If a website say's "all of our coaches speak English", or anything similar it is a downright lie.
