Nanjing | Niushoushan Super Comprehensive Butler-level Guide 📖 + Photo Shooting Spots 📷
The entire Niushoushan Scenic Area integrates Buddhist culture and Zen culture through a combination of European and Chinese architecture.
When you come to Nanjing, you must visit this Golden Durian that cost 4 billion yuan to build. It's really shocking!!!
Which door should I enter from?
⭕West Gate: Located halfway up the mountain, closer to Foding Palace, fewer people enter the park, and you can take a taxi to the ticket checkpoint without walking. Take a shuttle bus for 10r/person to the mountain top, which takes 5 minutes, and then walk for 20 minutes. ⭕East Gate: Convenient for parking, but many tour groups enter through this gate, so there are a lot of people.
How do I play here?
👇Search for Niushoushan will directly locate at the West Gate.
🚗Suggestion: take a taxi, around 35r.
💰98/person, online booking one day in advance is 88/person, ID card required for admission 😴Sisters who can wake up early should try to come when the park opens at 8:30am, there will be fewer people for taking photos. Around 10am, the sunset tour groups will start to arrive.
⚠️Closed on Mondays.

√3h route: Wuyou Gate - Foding Temple - Foding Palace Square with reclining Buddha - Underground Palace - Foding Pagoda (exit from west gate)
For those who have planned their whole day, you can visit Niu Tou Chan Cultural Park, Zheng He Park, Baoxiang Lake, Yinlong Lake, and Taohua Stream (exit from the east gate).
Fodeng Temple
Divided into three floors above ground and six floors underground❗ There are two entrances.
Enter from the 👈 left entrance to visit the reclining Buddha on the ground, then walk along the long corridor to the 👉 right entrance, wear free shoe covers and take the elevator directly down to the fifth floor underground (very shocking), and then visit one floor after another. The sixth floor underground is where the Buddha's relics are stored, which are only displayed on major holidays. The terrace on the fourth floor underground can take panoramic photos.
✨Fodushan Temple
Cannot enter, can only visit around the ancient architecture.
✨Buddha's Crown Pagoda
Climbing to the top of the tower allows you to see the scenery of the entire Niushou Mountain, but you have to climb 7 floors by yourself, which is very physically demanding.
How do I take a photo here?
👗The background color is too complicated, it is recommended to wear solid color clothes, light colors are elegant/dark colors are cool.

Must-read 00 lightning protection guide ❗
✅Go straight to Fodushan Temple first, take your time on the way back.
√Fodong Temple has two gates, the entrance to the underground palace is on the far right, and many people can't find it.
There is an elevator to go up the mountain, but only stairs to go down.
✅When taking the shuttle bus, make sure to scan the code and know whether you're going to the East Gate or the West Gate.
If the queue for shuttle buses at the West Gate is too long, it is recommended to walk down for 15 minutes, which is not very tiring.
Choose a good weather, so that the wind won't create a reflection of the inverted Buddha's Palace.
Do a good job of sun protection, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, especially sunny.
Niushou Mountain must come! Sakyamuni's skull-covered house, plus the majestic architecture and convenient facilities, all are great! The elevator is very friendly to the elderly, no matter whether it is up the mountain or down the earth palace, there is no problem 👍
The scenery is very good, even 🚾 is very beautiful, there is a place to rest every other place, come to Niushou Mountain must punch Yuefei's old base, you can go directly to the top of the mountain, the first ramp may be a bit steep, but the scenery above is super beautiful, people don't want to go down!
It happened that Hangzhou Spring Festival took the whole family to Niushou Mountain very early. It was very shocking and it was not tired to walk. The scenic spot was very large and new. Many net reds were punching in, not many people on holidays.
I recommend everyone to go, the scenery on the mountain is beautiful, the Buddha Palace is also beautiful, I like to take pictures 📸 I can make a film, don't forget to go to the Digong to see, I feel very shocking, at least I have not seen it in other places in China, I have the opportunity to go again
Man-made modern Buddhist palace-Buddhist Palace, large scale, beautifully built, dedicated to Buddha Sherizi, it is worth seeing, the surrounding natural landscape is general, there are many photography check-in points in the Buddha Palace, suitable for photography lovers! Believers will have regrets when they go, and they are not allowed to worship incense. Although there are many visitors, they lack the incense and fire, and they can only look at it! It is a modern Buddhist hall, which can be appreciated as an excellent architectural art work, and lacks historical heritage! Tickets are 160 yuan, although expensive but still worth a visit, especially for people interested in Buddhist culture, architectural art, photography!
I have been to Nanjing many times, but I went to Niushou Mountain for the first time, and this time I also took the elderly and took an hour and a half to climb Niushou Mountain. The topmost point is magnificent, magnificent, and the crowds are not peak season time.
We went out a little earlier, and it was not down at 8 o'clock. There were not many people in Niushou Mountain, so there was no need to line up. The feeling of rainy and cloudy days is completely different from sunny days. I don't know what it feels like on sunny days. It's a fairy, a fairyland on earth! Same as a painting! I can't help but want to sing a poem! The eyes see really beautiful! The phone can't make that feeling, but it is still very filmed! Because the time is relatively fast, I will stay here soon, and I will come back next time! Worth the past, really good
Niushou Mountain has beautiful natural landscapes, including dense forests and spectacular mountain ranges, providing a good place to relax and watch. Niushou Mountain has the Buddha Ding Palace as a major tourist attraction. The building is known for its luxurious and exquisite decoration, and the interior space is cleverly designed, including components such as the big dome, small dome and Buddha Ding cliff.
