On Chinese maps, the name "Wudangshan" is connected both to the whole mountain go which runs east-west along the southern edge of the Han River, crossing a few province level divisions of Shiyan, and to the little gathering of pinnacles situated inside Wudangshan subdistrict of Danjiangkou, Shiyan.
