Niushoushan, Buddhist mountain complex in Nanjing, China
The Niushoushan complex spans across multiple levels with underground palaces, grand halls, twin pagodas, and extensive gardens covering the mountainside.
During the Tang Dynasty, Master Farong established the Niutou Chan school at this location, marking a crucial transition from Indian to Chinese Buddhism.
The Usnisa Palace houses a sacred Buddhist relic, the Buddha's skull bone, displayed within a rotating golden statue beneath its central dome.
The site offers internal transportation services between attractions, with performances of the Lotus Buddha Tribute occurring four times daily at 10:00, 11:30, 13:30, and 15:00.
The complex features three tiers of corridors containing 10,000 Buddha statues, Chinese Buddhist artworks, Indian religious paintings, and detailed wall murals.
