Visit before you read! The correct way to check in at Nanjing Niushoushan

🚨 The scenic area is really big, it's recommended to set aside a whole day to walk around. I arrived at 11 am and didn't leave until it was dark and the park was closing. Remember to manage your visiting time well when taking photos. 🌙 It's also very beautiful when the lights are on at night, stay a bit if you get the chance. ____________________________ 🕙8:30-17:30, entry stops at 16:30 💰160 RMB per person, 145 RMB per person if you buy tickets a day in advance 👀 The scenic area has two main gates, east and west. The west gate is halfway up the mountain, and the east gate is at the foot of the mountain. If you're driving, it's recommended to choose the west gate; if you're taking a taxi, choose the east gate. 🗺 You can get a map of the scenic area at the entrance gate. 🚶🏼 It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the east gate of the scenic area to the Buddha Palace, and it's a sun-exposed route🌞, so it's recommended to take the scenic shuttle bus (round trip 20 RMB per person) to save some energy for climbing the Buddha Top Pagoda. The last shuttle bus down the mountain leaves at 18:00 every day. 🚌 After getting off the bus, walk for two or three minutes and you will see a wall with the words 'Buddha Top Sacred Land'. Continue forward and take the escalator to reach the Buddha Palace.
