Nanjing Niushou Mountain Travel Guide
🌈If it's your first time visiting Nanjing, Niushou Mountain is a must-visit attraction. It is one of the four famous scenic spots in Jinling, named for its twin peaks on the mountain top resembling the horns of a bull's head. Niushou Mountain boasts beautiful natural scenery, known for its 'Spring Niushou' reputation, and also has a very profound cultural heritage.
If the weather is good, you can also see the splendid sunset. Niushou Mountain, as the only remaining site in the world for the long-term worship of Buddha's parietal bone relic, has built a grand and magnificent cultural complex including the Buddha's Top Palace, Buddha's Top Pagoda, and Buddha's Top Temple, which have become the core attractions of Niushou Mountain.

This is a very full of cultural places. The whole area is very big that we can spend a day there. They have the foding palace and foding temple and many many other places but due to time constraint we only manage to go foding temple went up to level 7 and foding palace. There are a few vegetarian restaurants which looks good but as we went there quite late unable to try it. The area is very big and a lot of uphill thus we decided to take their internal bus which cost 10rmb per trip up and 10rmb to come down.It is a very nice place for us to calm and clear our mind.

I just want to be able to do something great. I am very happy to come here, everything is great for me and my family. The scenery is really beautiful, The food here is also quite delicious and fast, the service is quite attentive. I will happily come back later. Thank you
Although the tickets are expensive, they are really good value for money. The shock of the blockbuster, the Buddha Tower, the Thousand Buddha Hall, the Wanfo Gallery, and the reclining Buddha are all very beautiful and beautiful. It is a day that it is too expensive to climb the steps after taking the elevator. It is so tired. 😂😂😂 On the way back to Xi'an by high-speed rail from Nanjing, I also photographed Niushou Mountain 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I recommend everyone to go, the scenery on the mountain is beautiful, the Buddha Palace is also beautiful, I like to take pictures 📸 I can make a film, don't forget to go to the Digong to see, I feel very shocking, at least I have not seen it in other places in China, I have the opportunity to go again
Man-made modern Buddhist palace-Buddhist Palace, large scale, beautifully built, dedicated to Buddha Sherizi, it is worth seeing, the surrounding natural landscape is general, there are many photography check-in points in the Buddha Palace, suitable for photography lovers! Believers will have regrets when they go, and they are not allowed to worship incense. Although there are many visitors, they lack the incense and fire, and they can only look at it! It is a modern Buddhist hall, which can be appreciated as an excellent architectural art work, and lacks historical heritage! Tickets are 160 yuan, although expensive but still worth a visit, especially for people interested in Buddhist culture, architectural art, photography!
Because I arrived at 4:30 in the afternoon, I quickly took the scenic bus and reached the top of the mountain station. After that, I took the elevator 4~6 times (good humanity) to reach the Buddha Palace. The top of the mountain is divided into Buddha Palace and Buddha Tower. The tower is to see the scenery, and there is not much time to see the others. The Buddha Ding Palace is to see a sleeping Buddha. It is not as big as expected, so small. Then the second floor is the photography of Buddha statues everywhere. After reading these, I arrived at the scenic spot during the off-duty time and then took the bus back to take the mother.
