Niu Shou Mountain Scenic Area, Nanjing

This is the Niu Shou Mountain Scenic Area located in Nanjing. A place worth spending money to visit. We didn’t expect that this time, the underground palace was open. Grateful for this encounter. 🌟 Highlights: 1: The Buddha’s top bone relic is in the underground palace of Niu Shou Mountain. This is definitely worth paying respects to. 2: The cultural and creative products are distinctive and reasonably priced. Note, reasonably priced. A friend bought a silk shawl on this trip for around 300+. Decisively bought it. Honestly, in the past, it would have started at 600+. And this is still inside the scenic area. If you like small accessories, don’t miss it. The designs inside are really quite unique. 3: The dessert shop inside has reasonable prices and decent portions. 👍 Most recommended: I really like that there is an elevator. So you don’t have to walk too much. After all, we were with two retirees, one of whom has gout pain. The transportation exit here connects to the subway, or there is a bus directly to Lukou Airport for 25 yuan per person. This is something you won’t see at other attractions. If worse comes to worst, you can use Didi. The security guard even told me to only call Didi at the roadside. I know the trick and skipped the roadside car hailing. 🚉 Transportation tips: Nanjing is a city with relatively concentrated tourist spots, and each place can be reached within about 30 minutes. We were a group of four, so Didi was more cost-effective. I recommend staying at the Metropark Hotel. Why? Because it’s close to everywhere except dining is a bit inconvenient. There is a fruit shop nearby, and it’s cheap. 😁 ❤ Reasons to recommend: The underground palace is very impressive. As soon as you enter, you smell the solemn sandalwood incense. There are elevators up and down. Each floor has themed Buddha statues, some still under construction. But when we reached the bottom of the underground palace, we suddenly felt like crying, as if we found a soulmate. Looking at the relic, we felt a sense of compassion and care. It quietly watches you, senses your difficulties and hardships, and then with a smile tells us to stand up, move forward bravely, because it is watching over you. Even my dad, who doesn’t believe in this stuff, said it was very comfortable here and that the ticket money was well spent. This is the power of the Buddhist relic. 📝 Tips to note: There may be quite a few tourists, so pick your time carefully. Prepare to spend a whole day. It’s recommended to book tickets on Trip.com a day in advance for a discount. Half-price tickets are available for those aged 60 and above. It’s recommended to dress respectfully according to religious customs. Shorts and revealing clothes are not advised, otherwise volunteers will kindly give you a scarf to cover up at the entrance to the underground palace. ✅ Must experience: It’s recommended to quietly feel the atmosphere in the underground palace; each person’s experience is different. Summary: If you are a believer, you can come and visit. This is the only place in China that enshrines the Buddha’s top bone relic.
