Driving 500 kilometers just to pray here

I drove more than 500 kilometers to Niu Shou Mountain in Nanjing to see its stunning beauty. · Hello everyone, I am Ayun☁️, a male photographer who has been traveling📷 · 📍Location: Niu Shou Mountain Cultural Tourism Zone, Jiangning District, Nanjing 🚘Transportation: Search for "Niu Shou Mountain Cultural Tourism Zone" on your self-driving navigation to get there; 🚇Take Metro Line 1 to Tianlong Temple Station, Exit 2, and change to Bus 755 or 712🚌 🎫Tickets: 160/person, there will be discounts if you book online in advance 🕔Business hours: 8:30-17:00 (admission stops at 16:30) 🅿Parking: You can park your car in the exclusive parking lot outside the scenic area, 6r/hour 🗺 Tour route: East Gate Visitor Center of the Scenic Area ➡ Foding Front Garden ➡ Foding Temple ➡ Wuyou Square ➡ Foding Pagoda ➡ Foding Palace (see Figure 9 for the route map) · When we arrived at the scenic spot, we saw many people walking towards the Foding Temple. After asking the locals, we learned that praying here is very effective and you can get three incense sticks for free. Many people made a wish last year and came here to fulfill it this year! · 🏮Main points for praying at Niu Shou Mountain ✅Go to [Fo Ding Temple] to worship Many friends have been to Niu Shou Mountain before, but they don’t know about the Foding Temple. In fact, this is the essence of the scenic spot. Locals come here to worship every year, and it is very effective. The Foding Temple is located at the foot of Niu Shou Mountain and is the best place to burn incense and pray for blessings. ✅ Must be [pious] You can go to the temple and buy three incense sticks for free. When praying for blessings, one must introduce oneself, name, where one comes from, where one lives, what one is seeking, where one will return the favor after the request is made, and finally bow three times. After completing the whole process, the blessing is truly completed. ✅If you come during holidays or weekends, be sure to [get up early] Due to the local fame of the Foding Temple, it is recommended to avoid peak hours. If you can't avoid the peak hours, you must go in when the park opens in the morning. You can check in on the mountain first, and then go down the mountain to pray at the Buddha's Peak Temple. · 📷Photography guide for Niu Shou Mountain 1⃣It is recommended to enter the scenic area as soon as the door opens There are the least people at this time, so you can take pictures of empty and deserted scenes, which is also the best time to take pictures. 2⃣Dome + pond reflection The dome of the Buddha's Head Palace is beautiful with the reflection of the pond. Different focal lengths can produce different photo effects. 3⃣The Buddha's Head Palace and the Buddha's Head Pagoda are in the same frame with the characters Standing by the pond next to the Buddha's Peak Palace, take a photo of the person and the Buddha's Peak Pagoda and the Buddha's Peak Palace in the same frame 4⃣Zen View Entering the first floor of the Buddha Palace, there is a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha lying on a huge lotus in the middle. 5⃣ Difoding Palace Only when you enter the interior can you understand what architectural art is. It is so beautiful that you will be speechless. ·
