上武当山金顶的人，在走过黄龙洞后，将开始越攀越高的路程。虽然这段路林荫蔽日，景致奇特，仍不免让人感到登临的艰难。但也就在这时，人们会发现一片醒目的红墙碧瓦隐在树丛中，这就是建在武当神道上的朝天宫。

　　传说，朝天宫是是天庭与人间的分界线，古时朝山进香的人走到这里，就认为是走进了天界，因此，他们都要在这里先礼拜后再继续登金顶。武当道教认为，这里是神仙云游观视人间的最低界线，也是凡人登临的最高境地。

　　朝天宫主殿内供奉玉皇、真武等神像。现在，宫内设有“历代皇帝与武当山”的专题展览，荟萃了历代皇帝为武当山所下的圣旨、题字等文物，图文并茂，形象生动地再现了武当道教在历代皇室扶持下逐步走向鼎盛的武当道教历史。游人在此歇息，顺便观赏浏览，可以大概了解武当历史，看出武当山在各个朝代的地位。

　　此外，朝天宫还有供奉真武神系中其它神仙的东配殿和西配殿的殿堂，以及朝天宫主要神灵区庙堂的朝天宫道院等。
