REAGAN OWENS

Everyone in my social circle is going crazy, thinking I've gone abroad

Niushou Mountain Scenic Area is a comprehensive tourist attraction located a fair distance from the city of Nanjing, featuring several temples with architectural characteristics of both Eastern and Western styles, built with donations from believers. Niushou Mountain Cultural Tourism Area is a Buddhist holy land. In the first year of Jin Wu (317 AD), Emperor Yuan of Jin, Sima Rui, crossed the river and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty, making Jiankang (present-day Nanjing) the capital. In the second year of the Southern Dynasties' He Ping era (461 AD), the high monk Bishi lived in a cave on the south slope of the western peak of Niushou Mountain. Later, he 'attained Buddhahood on the spot and ascended to heaven to become an immortal.' The cave he lived in was called Bishi Buddha Cave, also known as Buddha Grotto Cave, and Niushou Mountain was once also called Xian Grotto Mountain. There are also historical relics such as Yue Fei's anti-Jin fortress, cliff carvings, Hongjue Temple Pagoda, and Zheng He Cultural Park. ⛰【Travel Guide】 📍Detailed address: No. 18 Ningdan Avenue, Jiangning District, Nanjing City 🚗Transportation guide: Take bus No. 755 or 712 to Niushou Mountain Scenic Area Station. 🕙Opening hours: 8:30-17:30 💰Ticket price: Tickets can be booked in advance from the official platform, priced at 145 yuan 🌟Highlights: 1. The temples combine Eastern and Western elements without any sense of discord, which is quite magical. 2. The architecture of Niuding Palace resembles a durian shell, and its interior is magnificent and awe-inspiring. 3. There are many wooden structures inside, and upon entering, one can smell the fragrance of wood, which is very calming. 📌Little Tips: 1. Be sure to visit Niuding Palace first, especially the underground part inside the palace, as that is the most valuable place. 2. The distance from the entrance to Niuding Palace is quite long, so you can take an electric shuttle.
