Niushou Mountain is located in Jiangning District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, 10 km from Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing, and covers an area of about 5 square kilometers. Niushou Mountain is one of the main mountains in Nanjing. It is named "Niushou Mountain" because of its two peaks, which resemble the horns of a bull. Niushou Mountain has rich cultural resources, including the Niushou Mountain Forest Park, a provincial forest park in Jiangsu Province, and the Niushou Mountain Cultural Tourism Zone, a national 4A-level tourist attraction in China. It is home to cultural attractions such as Foding Temple, Foding Pagoda, Foding Palace, and Hongjue Temple Pagoda. The Buddha's parietal bone relic is enshrined in the Foding Palace on Niushou Mountain.

Walking in it, you feel like you are in a quiet courtyard surrounded by lakes and mountains. Rooms I stayed in a Zen twin room, which has a private balcony with a view. I can drink tea and copy scriptures in the room, which is very relaxing. The hotel has three restaurants 1️⃣The all-day restaurant on the fourth floor provides breakfast and buffet dinner. The dishes are very rich. I highly recommend the Nanjing-style duck blood vermicelli soup. 2️⃣ Ninglan Vegetarian Restaurant on the sixth floor offers exquisite vegetarian food. Each dish is unique and you can feel the original taste of the ingredients. 3️⃣Qingya Chinese Restaurant serves Huaiyang cuisine. The creative dishes give your taste buds a Zen-like spa.

Nanjing has a Niushou Mountain, which is a holy place of Buddhism. Among them, the Buddha's Palace in the mountains is built with the use of historical mines. It is an art palace that combines classical and modern, contemporary architecture and Buddhist culture. Not only the interior decoration is very magnificent, but also because the Buddha's Palace is dedicated to the world's only surviving, the only Sakyamuni Buddha's top bones in the world and the world's best! I came here today to visit, even though I dont have religious beliefs in this area, but it is also a double shock of sight and soul!

Traveling to Niushou Mountain, I have to look at the Buddha's Palace. Don't miss the Buddha Temple in the Buddha's Roof, and there will be a performance like "Lian Buddha" every day. "Lian Buddha" Buddhist Zen Ceremony and stage multimedia show performance time is 10 am daily

Unbelievable, in such an abandoned mine, the great building "Fo Dinggong" was born. The diameter of the dome is over 200 meters. The single building area is about 19 football fields. It won the Luban Award and the Zhan Tianyou Award for two construction industry awards. The Luban Award is the highest honor for engineering quality in China's construction industry, and the Zhan Tianyou Award is the largest award in China's civil engineering, reflecting the innovation, advancement and authority of architecture. I have been working in the construction industry for a year, so I know a little about it, so I am especially appreciative of the Buddha's Palace. The Fo Ding Palace building is supported by the theme of the dome. It is divided into two parts, the dome and the dome, which means external support and internal support. The length of the large dome is 120 meters. It is shaped like a Buddha's ancestors. It echoes with the head of the Niu Shou Dongfeng and covers the small dome of the underground palace, symbolizing the infinite blessing of the Buddha. The small dome is like a Buddha's hair, and the single is a combination of hands and fingers, which means that thousands of believers support the Buddha. The small dome base is the shape of the lotus throne. The entire lotus throne is composed of 56 flying Bodhi gates that symbolize the Buddha's infinite wisdom, and 56 cloud gates that symbolize good luck. It is combined with the small dome Mani Baozhu. Form the sacred image of the "Lotus of the Lotus". Walking in the promenade, although full of Buddhist elements, but also slightly felt a trace of European-style architecture, it is full of charm. On the walls of the promenade, Buddhist-related murals are also displayed, which are worthy of taste and appreciation.

Foding Palace is one of the cores of the Buddha's Holy Land. The Buddha's Palace is located at the west peak of Niu Shou Mountain. The is built on the historical remnant of the mine.

Together, the tower constitutes a new scene of Niu Shou Xifeng, echoing with Niu Shou Dongfeng, and reproduces the magnificent scenery of the ox head "Shuangfeng Shuangyu". The entire Foding Palace is themed with the Buddha's top bone relics. The exterior is divided into two parts, the big dome and the small dome, which are provided for accidental support and internal support. The shape of the big dome is covered on the small dome, which symbolizes the infinite blessing of the Buddha; the lower part of the small dome is the shape of the lotus throne, and the upper part is the shape of the Moni orb, which combines to form the sacred image of the Lotus of the Lotus.

In the planning, the overall design of the Tianzhu Tibetan Palace, the Twin Towers and the Five Zens and the One Flower and Five Leaves are in addition to the buildings on the ground. The underground design of the Relic Park is also amazing. To enter the Buddha's Roof, you must first "enter the ground", but this is not to go underground, but to walk through a mountain passage, in which there are four small palaces depicting the world's land, fire, water, The wonders of the four natural phenomena of the wind.
