Nanjing, formerly known as Jinling, is a city filled with historical and cultural colors. In addition to the well-known Zijin Mountain, it is recommended to check out Niushoushan to witness its majestic beauty from the inside out. 🔖Niushoushan visiting route: West Entrance—Buddha Palace—Reclining Buddha—Underground Palace—West Exit (The West Entrance is closer to the Buddha Palace, and the West Exit is closer to Jinling Town) 🔖It is advised to take the bus for ascending and descending the mountain (bus fare is 10 yuan per person) as the route is uphill, wear comfortable shoes and bring water to drink 🔖For outfits, solid colors or traditional Chinese style clothing are more photogenic 🔖Very friendly for photography beginners, as almost anywhere you take a photo turns out great. It is recommended to take photos in the morning (fewer people) sitting by the pool with the Buddha Palace in the background for the most classic shots 🔖Everyone must enter before 16:30

Just finished the trip to Niushoushan🥰, and quickly organized this super detailed guide||So many people think I went abroad! This place really has a European vibe, and you can take European-style blockbuster photos in minutes! I just want to shout out loud about this Buddhist palace, which cost 4️⃣0️⃣ billion to meticulously create: you definitely won't regret coming here‼️‼️ 📍: Niushoushan Cultural Tourism Zone, Nanjing 🎫: Adult ticket 160 yuan, elderly and student ticket 80 yuan ⏰: 08:30-17:30, entry stops at 16:30 ‼️‼️Which gate should you enter from? I strongly recommend entering from the west gate, because it's halfway up the mountain and there are fewer people. It's also very close to the beautiful Buddha Palace, and it only takes 2 minutes to get there by the scenic area shuttle bus. To take beautiful photos without people in the background, I suggest arriving before the scenic area opens at 8:30 and spending 10 yuan to take the shuttle bus directly to the foot of the Buddha Palace. 1⃣️The west gate is halfway up the mountain, and the east gate is at the foot of the mountain; 2⃣️In the off-season, you can choose the east gate; 3⃣️During the peak season, the east gate can get crowded, so it's better to enter from the west gate. 🚗Transportation 1⃣️Self-driving: Directly navigate to the west gate of Niushoushan, about a 40-minute drive from the city center; 2⃣️Taxi: It's also about a 40-minute drive from the city center to the west gate of Niushoushan, and the one-way cost is about 40 yuan, so the round trip is about 80 yuan; 3⃣️Bus to subway Take the Line 1 subway🚇 to the Tianlong Temple Station Exit 2, then transfer to bus 710, 712, or 755. 710🚌: Get off at Jiujiatang Station, walk straight across the road for 10 minutes to reach the west gate of the scenic area; 712, 755🚌: Get off at Niushoushan Scenic Area Station to reach the scenic area! Tour route🚶🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ From the Buddha Palace poolside➡️Buddha Palace corridor➡️Archway➡️Inside the Buddha Palace➡️Underground Palace➡️Buddha's Top Pagoda. ‼️‼️Note that the Buddha's sarira is six floors underground in the Underground Palace of the Buddha Palace, and the Underground Palace is only open at specific times. Must-visit spots in Niushoushan🔥 1⃣️Buddha Palace This magnificent Buddhist palace integrates the architectural style of European palaces and is affectionately called the 'Golden Durian'; 2⃣️Underground Palace There is a mysterious underground palace inside the Buddha Palace, with six floors where you can see the Buddha's top bone relics; 3⃣️Buddha's Top Pagoda Climb to the top of the pagoda to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the entire Niushoushan; 4⃣️Reclining Buddha A super large reclining Buddha statue, really stunning and spectacular. Accommodation recommendations🏠 ✅You can stay near Xinjiekou, which has a subway passing through, located in the center of Nanjing city, making travel and sightseeing super convenient‼️‼️; ✅Staying near the Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River is also a great choice, where you can enjoy the charming night view of the Qinhuai River.

Breathtakingly impressive. It's absolutely worth a visit, so stunning! September travel guide for Niushou Mountain, babies who want to go, hurry up and save it! ⚠️Suggestions: Enter the park at three in the afternoon, it's not too hot and there are relatively few people, good for taking pictures. Be sure to apply sunscreen and bring an umbrella! Definitely, definitely!! Met an international tour group that day, all foreigners wearing green clothes and yellow hats, felt like going abroad haha 📍Route: 🌟Take a taxi🚖 to the west gate, turn right and walk a few minutes to take the bus up the mountain (10r/person), after getting off the bus, take the escalator to reach the Buddha's Palace (big durian), you can simply take some pictures. 🌟Enter the Buddha's Palace, turn left to find the "Reclining Buddha", ⚠️this Reclining Buddha can rotate!!! Don't be like me, foolishly looking for the front of the Buddha haha 🌟Come out⬅️ follow the crowd to the "Underground Palace", you need to wear shoe covers, there are five floors under the Underground Palace, after visiting, take the escalator back the same way 🌟Simply take some pictures on the second floor, you can check in the popular push door video, the lights are turned off at five-thirty sharp 🌟After coming out, take additional pictures of the big durian, there are fewer people at this time, the last bus is at six o'clock (but actually they won't leave you inside) We missed the six o'clock bus because of taking pictures, but there are still buses, just to the east gate 🌟After leaving the east gate, take a taxi🚗 to the nearest subway station (Hohai University·Focheng West Road Station) and then transfer to the subway🚇, there are many people and it's not easy to get a taxi, there are private car drivers soliciting customers at the door, if you're a girl, be sure to find a companion, take a picture of the license plate, be sure to pay attention to safety!!!
