A Niushou Mountain, half of the history of Jinling

The extremely beautiful palace and Buddhist holy land is a must-visit place in Nanjing! The beauty of the underground palace is unparalleled, and the artistic nature of the Buddha's Palace is extremely high! The architectural details are perfect! The super shocking grand hall built with 4 billion! As a cultural scenic spot combining Chinese, Buddhist, and European styles, it has a feeling of European palace. The interior of the Buddha's Palace gives a strong visual feast with thousands of golden Buddhas. This kind of magnificent beauty can only be experienced in person! Niushou Mountain, named for the two peaks on the top of the mountain that resemble the horns of a bull, is also known as Bull Head Mountain. It is one of the four famous sceneries of Jinling, and is known as the 'Spring Niushou'. It is now a long-term place for the Buddha's relics. Main attractions: The Buddha's Palace belongs to the deep pit architecture, and is the long-term place for the Buddha's relics. Its external space is divided into three parts: the large dome, the small dome, and the Buddha's cliff; the internal space has nine floors, three above ground and six underground, consisting of the Zen landscape, the relic hall, and the relic palace. The Buddha's Tower is located on the eighth floor of the Buddha's Tower, which houses a full-bronze Buddha's Vajra Bell, engraved with the full text of the Diamond Sutra written by Master Rongxiang. On the ninth floor, the Tathagata Hall enshrines a seated Vairocana Buddha. Looking far away from the Buddha's Tower, the scenery is open and magnificent, with an excellent view! Address: No. 18 Ningdan Avenue, Jiangning District, Nanjing Opening hours: 8:30-17:30 (entry stops at 16:30) Ticket cost: 98 on the day, 88 one day in advance Recommended play time: half a day to one day TIPS: The park is very large and it is a slow uphill journey.
