Wudang Mountain, located in Shiyan in western Hubei, is both a famous scenic spot and the Taoist Holy Land in China. The ancient architectural complex on the mountain was listed by UNESCO in 1994 as a World Culture Heritage Site.
 
Wudang’s ancient architectural complex consists of eight palaces, two Taoist temples, 72 rock temples, 12 pavilions and 10 shrines. Large in scale and excellent in technical detail, it is a powerful demonstration of the harmony between architecture and nature. Inspired by the fairyland picture of the perfect blending of buildings and mountains, the Wudang architectural complex is known as the Imperial Palace on the Cliff.

I have just had a very exciting Press Conference in San Francisco's Chinatown today; many of the community leaders came to this Conference & spoke. I introduced the history of the Wushu Tournament Beijing 2008 & the USA WuShu Taolu and SanShou members. This fundraising event was organized by Mr. Bill Lee & Mr. Wing Lau ( they both are very active leaders in SF Chinatown)
 
So far, they have already raised $7,000 and hope to have more coming in. I'll keep you all posted.
 
See you all in Brazil.
