N things you must know for a winter trip to Niushou Mountain!

Actually, you don't need any maps or guides for a winter trip to Niushou Mountain, because there is only one stop for the park bus, which is at the foot of the Buddha's Top Palace. Then take the escalator and climb the steps to the Buddha's Top Palace and Buddha's Top Tower. There are many check-in spots outside the Buddha's Top Palace, but it's actually better to take pictures inside the Buddha's Top Palace! 📿Buddha's Top Palace It is a deep pit-style building with three floors above ground and six floors underground. The external space is divided into a large dome and a small dome; the internal space above ground is a Zen landscape with a reclining Buddha, and the underground part is a palace built around the relic hall. To be honest, the Buddha's Top Palace is very shocking, but it comes from the dazzling high-tech sense, the appropriate lighting, the dome like the universe starry sky, the huge Buddha statue with a graceful posture and beautiful face, it has a kind of western church-style mystery and gorgeousness, so the Buddha's Top Palace is more like a Buddhist art exhibition hall. 📿Things you need to know for the trip! There are two gates in the scenic area, the east gate and the west gate. It is more convenient for self-driving to go to the west gate because it is halfway up the mountain. The east gate is at the foot of the mountain and there are more tourists. There is a bus directly to the east gate from the subway station, 2 yuan. There are also black cars 10 yuan/person, not recommended to take. You can take the park bus from the east gate to the Buddha's Top Palace, 10 yuan one way. There is not much scenery in winter, and it is very tiring to walk, so it is recommended to take a bus. There are many park buses, and the waiting time is not long. There are free maps available at the tourist center near the east gate, but they are not actually needed in winter. There is a vegetarian restaurant outside the Buddha's Top Palace from the underground palace, and there are Starbucks, KFC and Haagen-Dazs outside the east gate. 🍁Things you need to know for taking pictures! Take a reflection in the pool at the entrance of the Buddha's Top Palace, and take a picture of the Buddha's Top Tower and the Buddha's Top Palace together in the pool at the back. Try to go around to the back when taking pictures of the Buddha's Top Palace corridor, where there are fewer people. There are always many people taking pictures of the Buddha's Top Tower reflection in the corridor, so you have to wait. There is a particularly good spot in the underground palace, which is to take pictures of each other on two adjacent terraces, which is better than squeezing on one terrace, and you can also take pictures of the lotus seat appearance of the terrace. 📿Niushou Mountain Cultural Tourism Area Address: No. 18 Ningdan Avenue, Jiangning District, Nanjing City Opening hours: 8:30-17:30, stop admission at 16:30 Ticket: 145 yuan/adult (purchase one day in advance) ⚠️The winter ticket is slightly expensive compared to the places you can visit
