[2024 Nanjing Attraction] Travel Guide for Niushou Mountain (Updated Oct)

My favorite place in Nanjing has been found

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.

N things you must know for a winter trip to Niushou Mountain!

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

Usnisa Palace 🇨🇳 Nanjing-Niushoushan

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.

The Usnisa Palace 佛顶宫 - Modern Temple !💛

How many temples have you seen that were built decades or hundred years back? Well, this one will definitely be a breathe of fresh air! They were just opened in 2015, with all the modern architecture and interior design. I was in awe the whole time! It was so colorful and bright, and I can’t help but wonder if this temple will also passed the test of time. Will it still be standing tall 100 years from now? Nonetheless, we can still enjoy its beauty in present time, in all its glory! The Niushoushan 牛首山 Cultural Park is a really big area! The temple visit can take up to 2hrs (unless they open the whole floors -total 6 floors down underground. At the time of visit we were only allowed to visit 3 levels), and around the park may take another 2 hrs. You can plan a picnic there. There’s also a pagoda in front of the temple that you can visit.

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.

Nanjing's Must-Visit Attraction: Niushou Mountain

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!

Nanjing | Many people probably don't know that Niushou Mountain is a Buddhist holy site

🚗Niushou Mountain, located in Jiangning District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, is 10 kilometers from Nanjing's Zhonghua Gate and covers an area of about 5 square kilometers. Niushou Mountain is one of the main mountain bodies in Nanjing, named 'Niushou Mountain' because its twin peaks rise up, facing each other from east to west, resembling the double horns of a bull's head. Niushou Mountain boasts rich cultural resources, including the Jiangsu Provincial Forest Park—Niushou Mountain Forest Park and the national 4A-level tourist attraction—Niushou Mountain Cultural Tourism Zone. It features cultural sites such as Foding Temple, Foding Pagoda, Foding Palace, Yue Fei's Anti-Jin Fortress, cliff carvings, Hongjue Temple Pagoda, and Zheng He Cultural Park. The Buddha's parietal bone relic of Sakyamuni is enshrined in the Foding 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 flourished, and Niushou Mountain was the most concentrated area among the '480 temples of the Southern Dynasties,' making it one of the three most renowned holy sites of the Tang Dynasty, along with Qingliang in the northwest and Emei in the southwest. For over a thousand years, from the Liang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, Niushou Mountain was a gathering place for monks and scholars. It is said that Niushou Mountain was the winter palace of Manjusri Bodhisattva, who once led ten thousand Bodhisattvas to winter here. Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty, after dreaming of the Pratyekabuddha of Niushou Mountain, built a seven-story pagoda here. The high monk Pizhi of the Southern Dynasties 'attained Buddhahood on the spot and ascended to heaven as an immortal,' hence the Pizhi Pagoda. 🚗Public transportation is not very convenient; after taking the subway to a nearby station, you still need to transfer to a bus. If you have a large group, you can take a taxi or drive directly. This place is also considered a Buddhist holy site, which I didn't know before coming. There is a large reclining Buddha inside, which is quite impressive. If you visit Nanjing, you can also check it out.
