Customized China Tours Tailored Just for You
Nanjing’s Niushou Mountain is a Buddhist cultural site built with a massive investment upon the grounds of a former mine. It has gained worldwide renown for its awe-inspiring, sunken architectural masterpiece—the Palace of the Buddha’s Crown (Foding Palace)—often hailed as the pinnacle of Chinese aesthetic design, and for housing the sacred parietal bone relic of Gautama Buddha—the only one of its kind in existence.
The Niushoushan Cultural Tourism Zone in Nanjing is one of the four great scenic landmarks of the Jinling region. It derives its name—"Ox-Head Mountain"—from the two peaks at its summit, which stand opposite each other like the horns of an ox. Renowned for its stunning natural scenery—famously celebrated since ancient times as the premier destination for spring outings—the site also serves as the birthplace of the Niutou (Ox-Head) school of Zen Buddhism. It has gained global renown for housing the *ushnisha* (cranial bone) relic of Gautama Buddha—a supreme Buddhist treasure and the only one of its kind in the world. The zone’s centerpiece, the Usnisha Palace, was constructed within a former mine pit through a massive investment; it masterfully blends cutting-edge modern architectural aesthetics with traditional Buddhist art, earning it the reputation as the pinnacle of Chinese-style aesthetics.
