The Taoist temple Pingchuan North Wudang is a good place to see Taoist architecture during the National Day holiday, from Oct 1 to 7.

The temple is situated in Pingchuan district of Baiyin, Gansu province, and it was built during the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907). Covering 667 hectares, the temple is known for its magnificent structure. The local government has built an ecological tourism area covering North Wudang Temple, a forest park, Leek Gorge and Fushou Mountain.

The stone inscription in Fushou Mountain was carved in 1747, during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) concerning the Taoist scriptures. It is considered an important reference for studying Qing Dynasty calligraphy .

The poem carved in the mountain was called one of the eight sights not to miss in Pingchuan district.
