A group of 20 tourists led by a French travel agency Voyageuns Du Monde were invited to the Wudang Mountains for a three-day trip on June 14.

The beautiful scenery and historical buildings on the Wudang Mountains amazed the tour group. They visited magnificent Taoism architectures, including Zixiao Palace, Golden Hall, Prince Slope Architectural Complex, and Nanyan Palace and experienced Wudang kung fu.

The group members were all CEOs from large companies in France. They enjoyed a 10-day trip to China to promote the wonderful itineraries to their employees and customers. The group came all the way to the Wudang Mountains after two days in Beijing.

"I take tourist groups to China frequently, and I know it is the charm of Wudang culture that would most attract French people. They will fall in love with this place," tour leader Sergio Costa said.

Dan Parage, president of NNA, a French insurance company, felt wistful and said: "This is my first trip to the Wudang Mountains. I like the quiet and peace in the morning and the melodious Taoist music. Everything is amazing here. I will recommend it to my staff and clients and come here with them again."
