Temple of the Five Immortals
A place beyond time, in the heart of the sacred Wudang Mountains
Located at the top of one of the most remote peaks in the sacred Wudang mountain range (Hubei province, China), the Temple of the Five Immortals is an ancient Taoist hermitage nestled in untouched wilderness and silence. Far from tourist circuits and accessible only on foot through a forest trail, the temple is a place of deep spiritual retreat and practice.
Here, Master Li Shifu and the resident community preserve and transmit authentic Taoist teachings in their purest forms:
- Internal Qi Gong
- Tai Chi and Wudang Martial Arts
- Taoist Meditation
- Ceremonies, prayers, and study of ancient scriptures
- Alchemical practices and traditional Chinese medicine
The temple is named after the Five Immortals, legendary figures of Taoist tradition who are said to have attained enlightenment in these very mountains. Every stone, path, and tree still seems to carry traces of their presence.

I don’t want to promote myself—I’m just a beggar. Just being alive makes me extremely grateful to the Gods… If students learn the teachings well, apply them properly, and are able to help others, that brings me true happiness.
