Climb the Nine-Story Heavenly Palace to see the Cloud Secret Realm.

📍Tower Climbing Guide: Navigate to 'Niushou Mountain Buddha Top Tower', it is recommended to drive to the east gate of the scenic area (about 40 minutes from the city), and take the shuttle bus directly to the bottom of the tower🚌 ⏰Off-Peak Strategy: ▫️Avoid the crowds: Weekdays at 9 AM or after 3:30 PM ▫️Light and Shadow Magic: At 4 PM, the tower casts a slanting shadow, and the glazed tiles shine with golden light🌇 ▫️Night Tour Surprise: Light show on the tower body at 7 PM on Fridays and Saturdays🎇 📸Photo Tips: 1️⃣ Observation Deck at the Top: 270° panoramic shot of the city skyline and overlapping mountains 2️⃣ Flying Mural Layer: Shoot upwards at the dome caisson, the interplay of light and shadow is stunning 3️⃣ Dragon Pillar Matrix: Use a wide-angle and low-angle shot to capture the depth of the palace 4️⃣ Sunset Eaves: Use ginkgo leaves or tower bells as the foreground🍂 🍵Hidden Activities: ▫️Knock the Electronic Wooden Fish: Interactive blessing screens at each corner ▫️Find the Tower Cats: Three 'Buddhist' orange cats reside at the top of the tower🐾 ▫️Night Sky Viewing: Astronomical telescopes on the rooftop terrace (open on weekends) 💡Local Tips: ✔️Bring an empty bottle! There is a mountain spring drinking point at the bottom of the tower💧 ✔️Wear Hanfu for free admission! Tang-style skirts can be rented at the front desk ✔️Don't rush to leave on rainy days! The mist makes it look like a heavenly palace When the elevator reaches the 7th floor, the bronze bell rings softly as you push open the carved wooden door, and the entire city of Nanchang unfolds beneath your feet. The wind chimes on the eaves and the mountain sparrows sing together, and the glazed tiles reflect the light of a hundred years.
