7 Wonders of China - Mount Wudang
In 1403, Emperor Zhu Di summoned 300,000 craftsmen to build Taoist structures on Mount Wudang, over the course of just 12 years.
This complex is the largest on any mountain in China. From the foot of the mountain up to the Golden Hall at the summit of Tianzhu Peak runs a sacred stone stairway, 70 kilometres long, with 8 palaces, 2 Taoist temples and 12 pavilions built along it.
This series explores the history of 7 wonders of China. It follows the engineers and emperors behind the wonders, tracing their work and depicting the human stories behind their creations. It is a stunning celebration of man's ingenuity and resolve.
