Buddha's Head Palace: a famous scenic spot in Nanjing, a holy place for believers to worship

#2024TravelWish The Buddha's Head Palace is located at the west peak of the famous Niu Shou Mountain in Nanjing. It has a construction area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters. It was built using a deep pit and has long been a place for enshrining Buddha's skull relics. It is also a new heritage of world Buddhist culture and a new landscape of contemporary architectural art. It is a holy place for devout believers to worship their faith. The entire Buddha's Crown Palace is themed on the enshrinement of the Buddha's skull relics. The exterior of the entire palace is divided into two parts, the large and small domes. The large dome is like the Buddha's robe covering the small dome; the lower part of the small dome is shaped like a lotus throne, and the upper part is shaped like a Mani pearl. The combination of the upper and lower parts forms a sacred image of "lotus holding treasures".
