Niushou Mountain in Nanjing, you can't miss out on admiring the flowers and viewing the Buddha's relic!

There are many places to enjoy the flowers in Nanjing, such as Jiming Temple, Laomen East, and Yihe Road, which are crowded with people. Is there a place with fewer people and beautiful scenery where you can also enjoy the flowers? Is there a place where you can appreciate the flowers and also experience the history and culture of Nanjing? Here's a recommendation—Niushou Mountain. In spring, visit Niushou; in autumn, go to Qixia. This old saying is not just a casual remark. It means that in autumn, Qixia Mountain is full of splendid maple leaves, making it a prime spot for enjoying the fall scenery in Nanjing, while in the spring when the flowers are blooming, you should head to Niushou Mountain, where the mountain is covered with fresh flowers, incredibly beautiful. Niushou Mountain Scenic Area includes cultural and historical sites such as the Buddha's Top Temple, Buddha's Top Pagoda, Buddha's Top Palace, Yue Fei's Anti-Jin Fortress, Cliffside Inscriptions, Hongjue Temple Pagoda, and Zheng He Cultural Park. The Buddha's parietal bone relic is enshrined in the Buddha's Top Palace on Niushou Mountain. Niushou Mountain has been a famous Buddhist mountain since ancient times, with more than 30 temples from the Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty. During the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, Buddhism was prevalent, and Niushou Mountain, known as 'the site of four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties,' was one of the most concentrated areas of temples, 'comparable to the sacred sites of Qingliang in the northwest and Emei in the southwest,' and was one of the three most famous sacred sites of the Tang Dynasty.
