Nanjing Niushou Mountain Nanny-Level Guide: The Buddhist Kingdom Secret Realm is Absolutely Stunning!

Niushou Mountain! This is definitely the new top trending spot in Nanjing🔥 For those who want to go, quickly save this super detailed guide~ 🌟【Must-Visit Core Spots】 1️⃣ Foding Palace - This is not just a building, it’s a work of art!🤩 · The exterior is absolutely stunning! The small dome looks like Buddha’s hair bun, the large dome resembles a lotus throne, every photo is a masterpiece📸 · The Zen Grand View is a must-see! The 7.5-meter white marble reclining Buddha spins around~ The LED dome turns into a starry sky✨ It’s breathtaking! · The Relic Treasury is 44 meters underground! The golden Buddhist world is insanely luxurious💎 (Whisper: it’s even more stunning than the Forbidden City) 2️⃣ Foding Pagoda - The perfect spot for panoramic shots!👑 An 88-meter tall Tang Dynasty style Buddhist pagoda, climb to the top to overlook the entire Niushou Mountain⛰️ On a clear day, you can even see Nanjing city~ 3️⃣ Foding Temple - The sacred mountain’s treasure temple🏯 Built on the mountain in layers, with red walls and golden tiles giving a great vibe~ If you’re lucky, you might catch a chanting ceremony🙏 💡【Super Practical Info】 📍Address: No. 18 Ningdan Avenue, Jiangning District, Nanjing ⏰Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM (may close earlier on holidays) 🎫Tickets: 98 RMB/adult (half price for students) 🚗Transportation: · Take Metro S1 to Hohai University Station, then a 10-minute taxi ride · Self-driving: navigate to "Niushou Mountain East Entrance," the parking lot is huge 🔥【My Private Route】 ✅Lazy Essentials Version (3 hours): Enter from East Gate → Buy sightseeing bus ticket (20 RMB great value) → Direct to Foding Palace → Zen Grand View → Relic Treasury → Foding Pagoda → Take bus back This route perfectly avoids 99% of unnecessary walking! ✅In-Depth Experience Version (5+ hours): Add Foding Temple + Zheng He Cultural Park + Yinlong Lake Perfect for Buddhist enthusiasts to explore slowly~ ⚠️【Pitfall Avoidance Tips】 1. The real relic is only open on major holidays (New Year’s Day/Chinese New Year, etc.) 2. Definitely buy the sightseeing bus ticket! Walking will make you question your life😭 3. Wear comfortable shoes! There’s a lot of walking 4. No photography inside the Buddhist palace, remember to keep quiet 💝Little Tips: - If you want to see the real relic, it’s best to visit on holidays - The scenic area offers vegetarian meals (around 50 RMB per person) - Wearing Hanfu for photos is super fitting! Trust me! The shock of Niushou Mountain can’t be captured by your phone🙊 Seeing it with your own eyes will leave you speechless from the beauty!
