Nanjing Niushou Mountain | A Journey Through Time

| A journey through time. I was blown away by Nanjing Niushou Mountain! This trip to Niushou Mountain from the Magnolia Hotel was truly amazing! It takes about 30 minutes to drive to Niushou Mountain and start your journey. When you arrive, I highly recommend taking the sightseeing bus for CNY 10 to the Usnisa Palace, the highlight of the scenic area. I recommend spending 3 hours here. There are also guides available. 📸 These spots are amazing: • Pool in front of the Usnisa Palace: You can take stunning photos of the reflection in the water. The building and its reflection complement each other, and the photos are beautiful. • Usnisa Palace Corridor: Full of European style, the photos are amazing, and each one looks like you're in Europe. • Usnisa Palace Corridor Doorway: Use this as a frame to take photos of the Usnisa Pagoda, and the composition is perfect. • Pool outside the Usnisa Palace Corridor: With the Usnisa Pagoda in the background, you can take amazing photos. • Underground Palace 4th Floor: This is a great place to take videos of opening doors, which are unique and interesting. In addition to the Usnisa Palace, the Thousand Buddha Hall is also a great place to take photos. The pool is a great place to take photos of the entire building, which is very impressive. The Usnisa Palace is truly impressive, with 3 floors above ground and 6 floors below ground, and the interior design is extremely luxurious. The underground palace is not to be missed, with a huge golden reclining Buddha inside, which is a perfect blend of design and art. Niushou Mountain is open from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm, and entry is not allowed after 5:00 pm. If you want to take photos of the scenery, I recommend going early in the morning or bringing a tripod. Please note that drones are not allowed in the scenic area. Tickets are CNY 160 for adults, or CNY 145 if purchased online one day in advance. Tickets for seniors, students, and children are CNY 80 (students must bring their student ID, and tickets do not need to be purchased in advance). The subway is not very convenient, so I recommend taking a taxi. If you come to Nanjing, you must visit Niushou Mountain and experience this amazing place. Stay at the Magnolia Hotel and start your comfortable journey!
