Sacred Sites & Mountains
Making pilgrimages to sacred sites - temples, statues, birthplace of Taoist sages - and wandering within the folds of Taoist sacred mountains, are important practices for many Taoist practitioners. Such external journeys, it is believed, have the power to catalyze the internal transformations that are the essence of Taoist practice.
