It was worth the 300-kilometer drive just to see Niu Shou Mountain with my own eyes

As the saying goes, "Niu Shou Mountain is half of the history of Nanjing", I drove more than 300 kilometers to Nanjing Niu Shou Mountain is still very large. It is recommended to make a plan in advance. Address: Niu Shou Mountain Cultural Tourism Zone, Jiangning District, Nanjing 🎫Ticket purchase: Original price 160 yuan It is cheaper to buy online one day in advance, 145 yuan 🌸Entry: Bring your ID card or exchange for a paper ticket in advance ⏰Opening hours: 8:30~17:30, last admission at 16:30 🚗Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 from Nanjing South Station to Tianlong Temple Station, Exit 2, and transfer to Bus 755 or 712 to the East Gate of the Scenic Area 🚌It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the east gate of the scenic area to the Buddha's Head Palace. It is recommended to take the scenic shuttle bus (round trip 20/person) to save some energy to climb the Buddha's Head Pagoda. The last bus to Xiashanjing departs at 18:00 every day 🌈Recommended route: Buddha's Head Palace☞ Buddha's Head Pagoda☞ Worry-free Square☞ Buddha's Head Temple☞ Buddha's Head Front Garden ✨Buddha's Palace There are 9 floors in total, including underground and above ground floors, and 6 floors are open. Recommended tour order: Entrance - 1st floor ☞ Negative 5th floor ☞ Go up to the 1st floor exit in sequence. Remember to wear shoe covers when entering. ✨Dry Buddha Tower: The tower has 9 floors, 7 of which are open Climb the tower to overlook the Buddha's Palace and the surrounding scenery 📸Recommended photo locations: 1The Palace Corridor It looks good no matter how you take the photo. There are a lot of people but you still have a chance to wait until there is no one in the picture. 2 Arches People can be inside the arch and take photos facing the pagoda. 3. Outside the pond When there is no wind, you can shoot a mirror effect 4The highest point of the Buddha's Head Pagoda You can take a panoramic view of the Buddha's Palace 5 Thousand Buddha Hall Wide angle is recommended 6The east side of the Buddha Palace You can take photos of the Buddha's Palace and the Buddha's Tower in the same frame ⏰ Recommended play time: Set aside 3 hours, because it is really large and there are many things to visit. You can learn knowledge while being shocked by the scenery in front of you.
