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.

√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.

✅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.
Beautiful architecture and craftsmanship. If you are into culture and spiritual experiences you must visit this place!
The scene in the Buddha's Palace is very spectacular. There is a feeling of being shocked when you walk in. The history of the rise and fall of Buddhism in the Buddha's Tower has helped tourists deepen their understanding of Buddhism. The landscaping landscape design on both sides of the walkway from the Buddha Palace to the Buddha Temple is very eye-catching.
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!
When you come to Nanjing, you must go to Niushou Mountain! When you enter the six-story underground, the scene that is printed into your eyes is completely shocking and exquisite! With the music walking and watching its washing of the soul, it is said that the people who see the Buddha in tears are all the people who have not practiced in the past life, so this life needs to be re-cultified, and the sufferings in the world are the best practice for people! The meaning of ninety-nine to be true is the name of the heart 🙏
It is worth a visit. It happened to be rainy. The photo was particularly artistic. Although it was rainy, the traffic was still very large. The building was particularly beautiful. This is a great work. The earth palace also shocked me. Next time I have the opportunity to bring my family back again.
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.
Especially good, the Buddha Ding Palace building is beautifully shaped, the inside is magnificent, the whole garden is greened properly and very quality, the Buddha Ding Temple soundtrack is beautiful, all visual feelings are beautiful, it is worth enjoying
