Because of the saying "Half of Nanjing's history is in Niushou Mountain," I came to Nanjing from Hangzhou. In the changing landscape, you can see a thousand years of history. The Foding Palace is magnificent on a sunny day, but it was drizzling when I visited, so I didn't get a photo of the golden "durian shell." However, Niushou Mountain is also poetic after the rain. This time, I took a new route, "Dongchan Xinlu," which is less well-known and a niche route. From the "Huaxin Gate" in front of the Foding Palace, I walked up the bluestone road with an umbrella, surrounded by the fragrance of osmanthus. The whole road is quiet, with only the sound of birds and insects, which fits the name "Xinlu" (Heart Journey). If this is your first time visiting Niushou Mountain, it's more convenient to enter from the east gate. Take the shuttle bus to Tianque Station, and the escalator will take you to the Foding Palace and Foding Pagoda. If you have time, you can go to the Hilton Nanjing Niushoushan after leaving the park and have a cup of the autumn special "Osmanthus Latte." The lobby bar has floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ginkgo forest, which looks even better in late autumn. The whole hotel is very well-designed and perfect for taking photos. 📍: Niushou Mountain Cultural Tourism Zone 🚄: It's recommended to take the train to Nanjing South Railway Station, which is closer to the scenic area. 🚇: Take Metro Line S1 to Hohai University Focheng West Road, then take a taxi. You can also transfer to a bus, 755/712/G70, to Niushou Mountain Bus Station. 🎫: Tickets are CNY 145 online one day in advance and CNY 160 on-site on the day. 🧳: There is luggage storage at both the east and west gates.

✨In autumn, the metasequoia trees by the Hidden Dragon Lake in Niushou Mountain turn deep red, reflecting on the lake like a beautiful oil painting; the pink muhly grass all over the mountain is like a pink sea of flowers, swaying like waves in the breeze, dreamy and romantic. 💖Niushou Mountain not only has charming natural scenery, but also is a tourist attraction integrating history, culture, and religious beliefs. 📍Attraction: Niushou Mountain in Nanjing 🕙Opening hours: 8:30 - 17:30 🚌Transportation: Take Subway Line S1 to Henan University - Focheng West Road, get out from Exit 1, and transfer to Bus G70 to the east gate of the scenic area. 🌈Tour route: Take the scenic area bus from the east gate to the mountain, and go directly to Foding Palace. Don't forget to check in at "Upside Down World" on the hillside. It is located at the entrance of the "Foding Holy Land" gilt four-character, and there is a mirror when you look up. After taking a photo, you can flip it vertically, which is very creative. Then come to the Foding Palace pool, you can use the pool reflection to take photos of the "big durian", as well as the group photos and reflections of people and "Hongjue Temple Pagoda" and "Foding Pagoda". Then stroll in the Foding Palace corridor, take photos of the extension of the corridor and the group photos of people and arches. The interior of Foding Palace is also very spectacular, and wide-angle shooting can better record its beauty. Finally, walk down the mountain to the Hidden Dragon Lake. The green slope by the lake is matched with the blue sky and white clouds. Sitting on the lawn by the lake and dazing, blowing the autumn breeze, is very comfortable. 📷Photo tips: 1. "Upside Down World" is located at the entrance of the "Foding Holy Land" gilt four-character, don't miss the creative photo. 2. The pool in front of Foding Palace is a good place for taking photos, and you can take photos of the "big durian" and the group photos and reflections of people and pagodas. 3. Take photos of the extension of the corridor and the group photos of people and arches, which is very atmospheric. 4. Wide-angle shooting of Foding Palace is more magnificent. 5. The blue sky, white clouds, and green slope of the Hidden Dragon Lake are beautiful no matter how you shoot. Come to Niushou Mountain in Nanjing and start a romantic autumn tour! 💕

Niushou Mountain has been a renowned Buddhist site since ancient times, with over 30 temples built from the Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty. During the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, Buddhism flourished, and Niushou Mountain was the most concentrated area among the '480 Temples of the Southern Dynasties.' It was considered one of the three most famous Buddhist sites of the Tang Dynasty, alongside Qingliang in the northwest and Emei in the southwest. The architecture within the area is exceptionally exquisite and beautiful, making it a great spot for photography. It is recommended to climb only to the second floor of the tower, as there isn't much to see beyond that point, and the air circulation is poor. The highest floor only houses a Buddha statue. The scenic area offers shuttle services, but you can also walk. However, the shuttle service requires a fee for both directions. If you have the stamina and the mood, you can take a leisurely walk. The entrance fee is 160 RMB, but it is free for visitors from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau!

The skull relic of Shakyamuni was sealed here, and it was built relatively recently. The famous Fo Ding Palace, with its unique durian-shaped architecture, stands out with its splendid architectural beauty! Although it is a Buddhist holy site, it is also popular as a shooting location for influencers, and you can see many people taking snapshots. I think it's a must-visit place regardless of religion!

#travelanywhere The Chan State Scene is part of Usnisa Palace in Nanjing, a captivating destination known for its rich historical significance, natural beauty, and cultural heritage. In the center of this hall, lay a 9-metre long copper statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, with the surface decorated with imitated white marble, It reflects the Nirvana state of Sakyamuni. This statue is moving slowly in a twisted direction, visitors can enjoy and view it from all different positions. The atmosphere inside this hall is peaceful, soothing and calm. Dont miss out this place while you are visiting Usnisa Palace. #nanjing #nanjingchina #nanjingtravel

The complete guide. 🌈Attractions: Niushou Mountain Scenic Area in Nanjing is a Buddhist cultural art palace built with a huge investment. Whether it's the reclining Buddha in the Zen landscape, the 21-meter-tall Relic Pagoda, or each Buddha sculpture and even every decorative piece, they all reflect exquisite luxury. Whether you are a Buddhist believer or an art lover, you will be amazed by the beauty here. 🎟️Ticket Information: The ticket for Niushou Mountain is 160 yuan, but if you purchase it on Ctrip one day in advance, it's 140 yuan. Half-price tickets are 80 yuan, and free tickets require reservation and registration at the ticket window. The park's shuttle bus is 20 yuan for unlimited rides, or 10 yuan for a single ride. 🕐️Opening Hours: The scenic area is open daily from 08:30 to 17:30; ticket inspection is from 08:30 to 16:30; shuttle bus operation is from 08:30 to 18:00. 💗Other tips: 1. Niushou Mountain Scenic Area includes the Buddha Palace, Relic Pagoda, Buddha Top Temple, Zheng He Cultural Park, and other attractions. If you want to visit all of them, it is recommended to take the shuttle bus. However, the main attractions are still the Buddha Palace and the Relic Pagoda. 2. If you mainly want to visit the Buddha Palace and the Relic Pagoda, it is recommended to enter from the west gate of the scenic area. First, there are fewer people at the west gate, mostly individual visitors, which makes it convenient to enter. Second, it's only a few hundred meters from the west gate to Tianque Station (shuttle bus station), a 10-minute walk, which saves the trouble of taking the shuttle bus. 3. Niushou Mountain Scenic Area is relatively far from the city center, and it is not directly accessible by subway. There is relatively more public transportation at the east gate, but the transfer time is longer. From Nanjing South Station, you can take the subway S1 line to Hohai University. Focheng West Road Station, then take a taxi for about 10 yuan to the east gate of the scenic area, which takes about 30 minutes in total. I chose to go from Nanjing South Station to the west gate, taking the subway S3 line to Jiaxi No.2 exit, then a taxi for about 17 yuan to the west gate of the scenic area, which takes about 40 minutes in total. 4. There are four levels of elevators from Tianque Station (shuttle bus station) to the Buddha Palace, which are very friendly for the elderly and children. However, you need to walk down the mountain. 5. The best spots for taking panoramic photos of the Buddha Palace are at the edge of the pool in the entrance square, where you can capture the reflection, and from the top of the Relic Pagoda looking down. 6. The first thing to visit in the Buddha Palace is the reclining Buddha in the Zen landscape. From the exit of the reclining Buddha, turn right along the corridor to the entrance of the underground palace. Put on shoe covers, take the escalator down, and you will reach the Relic Pagoda exhibition hall. Walk clockwise around the pagoda, then you can come out to visit the Thousand Buddha statues. Take the escalator up to the 5th floor, where the visit is counterclockwise. This floor is the filming location for the popular 'push the door to see Buddha' videos. There are many places where you can push the doors open; you need to observe carefully. Some doors open to reveal fire equipment, some doors are small and don't look good in photos, some doors don't face the Buddha statues directly, and there are long queues in front of some doors while others have no one. So, if you want to take good videos and photos, you need to spend more time experimenting. 7. The elevator in the Relic Pagoda is usually not open, and you need to walk up. Although it's said 'to stand at the top and overlook all the smaller mountains,' the scenery isn't much different in reality. If you can't climb, just climb fewer floors, as the photo effect is almost the same. 8. Everyone recommends taking the shuttle bus down the mountain to the east gate and then transferring to public transportation, which is relatively more convenient and relaxing. I chose to walk from the west gate to the bus station and then transfer to the subway, which was indeed a bit of a forced march 9. The Buddha Palace will allow you to take many nice photos, and I've also selected a few to post. But no matter how you take photos, they are not as shocking as seeing it in person. After all, an art landscape built with 4 billion yuan is supposed to shock you

Niushou Mountain in Nanjing is a hidden gem that combines natural beauty with rich cultural heritage. One of the best spots for photos is the futuristic Usnisa Palace and the pagoda right next to it, which contrasts strikingly with the lush greenery of the mountain. At sunset time the scene was so beautiful that made me pick this place as my favorite in Nanjing. Whether you're looking to capture architectural marvels or stunning vistas, definitely Niushou Mountain offers a diverse array of scenic spots that make for memorable photographs. ⚠️ If you are a drone enthusiast as me, be aware that it can’t be taken inside the park. It has to be left in the entrance of the park.

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

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!

However, you may be able to find souvenirs or other items at gift shops within the park or nearby.

We took a taxi to get there. When you arrive you have the option to walk up to the temple which is about 40 minutes or you could take a bus. We took a bus to the peak where you could see the temples and different buildings. We went on a day that it was rainy which made it tough to navigate but I could only imagine walking around on a hot day. There’s a good amount to see but you will probably spend about 2 hours there depending on mode of transportation When we finished the tour there were people near the exit offering 10 yuan for transportation to the metro. Plenty of taxis as well 我们坐出租车去那里。 当你到达时，你可以选择步行到寺庙，大约需要40分钟，或者你可以坐公共汽车。 我们坐公共汽车去山顶，在那里你可以看到寺庙和不同的建筑。我们去了下雨的一天，这让我们很难导航，但我只能想象在炎热的日子里四处走动。 有很多要看的，但根据交通方式的不同，你可能会在那里花大约2个小时 当我们结束旅行时，有人在出口附近提供10元的地铁交通。出租车也很多，很多 #nanjing #NiushouMountain

The entire Niushoushan Scenic Area integrates Buddhist culture and Zen culture through a combination of European and Chinese architecture. When you come to Nanjing, you must visit this Golden Durian that cost 4 billion yuan to build. It's really shocking!!! Which door should I enter from? ⭕West Gate: Located halfway up the mountain, closer to Foding Palace, fewer people enter the park, and you can take a taxi to the ticket checkpoint without walking. Take a shuttle bus for 10r/person to the mountain top, which takes 5 minutes, and then walk for 20 minutes. ⭕East Gate: Convenient for parking, but many tour groups enter through this gate, so there are a lot of people. How do I play here? 👇Search for Niushoushan will directly locate at the West Gate. 🚗Suggestion: take a taxi, around 35r. 💰98/person, online booking one day in advance is 88/person, ID card required for admission 😴Sisters who can wake up early should try to come when the park opens at 8:30am, there will be fewer people for taking photos.

There is an elevator to go up the mountain, but only stairs to go down. ✅When taking the shuttle bus, make sure to scan the code and know whether you're going to the East Gate or the West Gate. If the queue for shuttle buses at the West Gate is too long, it is recommended to walk down for 15 minutes, which is not very tiring.

Niushoushan, or Niushou Mountain, with an altitude of 243m, is an emerging attraction in Jiangning District in the southern suburb of Nanjing city. Niushoushan is also known as “Ox Head Mountain” because its East Peak and West Peak face each other in the shape of the two horns of an ox. Niushoushan has long been forgotten by people until Oct 27, 2015 when the world’s only parietal relic of Buddha was put there. A grandiose Buddhism-themed palace was built to place the relic of Buddha. Since then, there have been more and more visitors coming to Niushoushan to worship the Buddha, experience Buddhism culture and marvel at its magnificent architecture. It is a place where both Buddhists and regular tourists can enjoy. If you are planning a trip to Nanjing, you shouldn’t miss it. Type: Mountains/ Buddhist Park Best Seasons: All year round Recommended visiting time: 2-4 hours Opening time: 9:00-17:30 #niushoushan #nanjingtravel #culturalattraction #unescoworldheritage #jiangsuprovince #chinalife

A mountain top surprise!!! When we went to Niushoushan for the afternoon we had no knowledge of what we would find apart from being able to see a large temple and pagoda on the route to the summit. However once we reached the top we saw the domed roof of the Usnisa place, still we had no idea what the building was or what it contained. Once we went inside we travelled down what felt like endless escalators, until we reached the vast prayer room, filled with ornate statues and people worshiping and singing. Around the outside layer are thousands of small Buddah and as you climb back up through the palace you can look out from the many balconies. To get to the Palace, you'll need to taxi to the Niushoushan Scenic area and walk to the summit, lots of the steeper parts of the walk have escalators.

When the weekend comes around, Niushou Mountain is a great place to chill out with family or friends. It has long been considered a picturesque destination in China, and you can visit several famous sites within the scenic area. The mountain is tinged with color, and from the top, you can see downtown Nanjing framed by mountains, shimmering in the twilight mist.

Niushoushan is a 'must see' when visiting Nanjing. You can walk for hours exploring this expansive area. The staff are very helpful.

The cow first saw the crane forest, and the trails were winding around. Spring light outside the mountain, Tianhe Su Dian Yin. The light is not white, and the cloth has gold. Hugh screaming old, can't remember. Throughout the ages, there are many poems describing Niu Shoushan, and my favorite is always Du Fus "Wang Niutou Temple". This poem not only depicts the beautiful scenery of Niu Shou Mountain, but also the grand scene of Niutou Zongdao. It was very vividly revealed and quite Zen. In the ancient capital of Nanjing, there has always been the saying of "Spring Niu Shou, Qiu Qixia". In fact, the fall of Niu Shou Mountain is also beautiful. A Niu Shou Mountain is like a half history of Nanjing. Just a mirror in this life, you need a lot of incense in the past. Although I don't believe in Buddhism, I am deeply awe-inspiring, because my elders in the family worship Buddha and worship Buddha from a lifetime. Niu Shou is the most concentrated place in the "400-year-old temple of the Southern Dynasties". In the forty-eight scenes of the ancient Jinling, Niu Shoushan monopolizes three scenes: "the first head of the smoke", "the flower of Qing Xing", "Zu Tangzhen "Symbol", all of which make people who believe in Buddhism yearn for it. So no matter when you visit, there is no shortage of popularity here.
