Nanjing | Niushoushan Super Comprehensive Butler-level Guide 📖 + Photo Shooting Spots 📷
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. Around 10am, the sunset tour groups will start to arrive.
⚠️Closed on Mondays.

√3h route: Wuyou Gate - Foding Temple - Foding Palace Square with reclining Buddha - Underground Palace - Foding Pagoda (exit from west gate)
For those who have planned their whole day, you can visit Niu Tou Chan Cultural Park, Zheng He Park, Baoxiang Lake, Yinlong Lake, and Taohua Stream (exit from the east gate).
Fodeng Temple
Divided into three floors above ground and six floors underground❗ There are two entrances.
Enter from the 👈 left entrance to visit the reclining Buddha on the ground, then walk along the long corridor to the 👉 right entrance, wear free shoe covers and take the elevator directly down to the fifth floor underground (very shocking), and then visit one floor after another. The sixth floor underground is where the Buddha's relics are stored, which are only displayed on major holidays. The terrace on the fourth floor underground can take panoramic photos.
✨Fodushan Temple
Cannot enter, can only visit around the ancient architecture.
✨Buddha's Crown Pagoda
Climbing to the top of the tower allows you to see the scenery of the entire Niushou Mountain, but you have to climb 7 floors by yourself, which is very physically demanding.
How do I take a photo here?
👗The background color is too complicated, it is recommended to wear solid color clothes, light colors are elegant/dark colors are cool.

Must-read 00 lightning protection guide ❗
✅Go straight to Fodushan Temple first, take your time on the way back.
√Fodong Temple has two gates, the entrance to the underground palace is on the far right, and many people can't find it.
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.
Choose a good weather, so that the wind won't create a reflection of the inverted Buddha's Palace.
Do a good job of sun protection, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, especially sunny.
Accompanying the elderly to visit, I feel that the scenic spot is still very user-friendly. After entering the park, you can take the bus for 5 minutes to the site of the Buddha Ding Palace up the mountain. Then there is an escalator all the way to the platform in front of the Buddha Ding Palace. After the first floor of the Buddha Ding Palace, I found the entrance of the Terrestrial Palace and took the escalator all the way down to the ground floor of the Terrestrial Palace. I was dazzled by the luxury of the Terrestrial Palace. Everything is an artistic treasure! Shengshi China, Buddha light is reappeared!
Very good, picturesque, worth the charge, come with people who have not been here in the future, very beautiful building, but do not understand Buddhism, also bought two bracelets, here 200, outside 60, comfort yourself to open the light and savoured hahahaha
Niushou Mountain Scenic Area is relatively close to the city, it is very convenient to take a car, the scenic area is relatively large, but only the Buddha Palace and the Buddha Tower are the main attractions to watch, other places do not need to go, in vain to consume physical strength, the Buddha Palace and the Buddha Tower are still good, more shocking buildings, The interior structure of the building is more beautiful and the Buddha statue is still worth a visit.
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!
In fact, Nanjing has played so many places, the most shocking thing is the Niushoushan Scenic Area, in addition to the majestic pagoda, the grand dome Buddha hall and the underground palace on the 6th floor below. This attraction is very recommended, and Ctrip's fare is also very affordable.
Niushou Mountain is one of the scenic spots that Nanjing has built in recent years. It is very large and spectacular. It can be done for half a day according to your preferences. There is a shuttle bus directly up the mountain, and then there is an escalator to climb the mountain. It is really a gospel for lazy people. It is super filming if you take a photo. It is recommended to avoid the holidays and go out a little earlier. Going back from Niushou Mountain, you can also go to the small town of Jinling next to it. It is very suitable for arrangements.
Spring Niu head, it is worth going, in addition to the magnificent Buddha Palace, there are also purple and red, hundreds of flowers are blooming, the Zen Cultural Park where the Yue Temple Tower is located, the cherry blossoms on both sides of the front ladder are like tunnels, and the distance within reach on the steps is very suitable for taking pictures. You can also take a panoramic view when you board the Buddha Tower. The trails are scattered with cherry trees or drooping seagulls, and the peach blossom streams are competing to open, beautiful, that is, the fare is a bit expensive, there is no guide car on foot, take a little more time, stop and stop, tired but still worth it.
