Astonishing architecture atop a mountain!This hidden gem in Nanjing, Jiangsu offers visitors a memorable trip up Niu Shou Shan (牛首山). Besides magnificent views of Nanjing city from the mountain, you will be greeted by an opulent dome which houses a few levels of Buddha and deities, all meticulously sculpted by skilled craftsmen. Next to the dome is a beautiful Chinese pagoda which allows entry for visitors to catch a bird’s eye view of this marvelous architectural site. Despite being there over a national holiday weekend, the crowd was well controlled and orderly. Tickets to the attraction can be purchased online prior to your visit. This architectural marvel would be more engaging if there is proper curation of its religious history. #niushoushan #nanjing #architectureloversBokster5

Nanjing Niushoushan is SO GOOD ❤️#cherryblossom2024 🌸 What is required for the new year is hope and the Nanjing Niushoushan travel attack! "A Niushou Mountain and half of the history of Jinling", in order to witness the charm of this Buddhist palace, I specially flew from Chengdu to Nanjing. The four billion yuan building is truly beautiful. It is meaningful to visit Hanli in the new year. ✨The water pool in front of and on the side of the Buddha's Peak Palace is very beautiful. ✨ The long corridor of the Buddha's Peak Palace is a bit exotic, similar to both domestic and international. Only in the morning can one go there. ✨ The interior of the Buddha's Peak Palace is very gorgeous. 💡Other tips: 🌞 If you can come early, come early. Few people have a sense of experience. Taking photos is much more comfortable. If you arrive late, it is recommended to go west. "The best time for the party to wait and take photos is 10 minutes before clearing the venue. #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #cherryblossom2024 #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #瑞生尖沙咀酒店 #tripSadia_N2
