Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Foding Palace

Stay at Niushou Mountain Foding Temple Zen Retreat, a boutique sanctuary blending Jiangnan garden aesthetics with authentic Buddhist architecture. Located just steps from the main temple, it offers serene rooms designed for meditation, complete with daily chanting sessions, tea ceremonies, and guided tours. The property emphasizes spiritual immersion, providing access to exclusive morning rituals and tranquil courtyard views—ideal for travelers seeking both cultural depth and inner peace.

Take Line S6 (Ningju Line) metro to Niushou Mountain Station, then transfer to a free shuttle bus or walk 15 minutes to the temple entrance. This route takes about 40 minutes without traffic stress. If driving, park at the Niushou Mountain Cultural Tourism Zone lot—on-site electric shuttles connect all major attractions, ensuring smooth navigation through scenic trails and sacred sites.

Don’t miss the Tower of the Buddha’s Crown ascent and Vedic chanting ceremony, especially at dusk when temple bells echo through the valley, creating a profound meditative atmosphere. The site also hosts regular exhibitions on intangible heritage like Jinling woodblock printing, traditional incense art, and hand-stitched Buddhist banners—allowing guests to craft their own devotional items. Weekly night tours offer a mystical view of the ancient complex lit by soft lanterns.

Choose Niushou Mountain Foding Temple International Zen Center, located right beside the main gate. It features a dedicated pilgrimage pathway, morning meditation halls, and daily spiritual workshops. Accommodations include silent retreat suites and Hundred Hands Zen Rooms, crafted with natural wood and calming tones to support introspection. Guests also receive mindfulness coaching and personalized guidance for a transformative journey.

Absolutely. Niushou Mountain is part of a national forest park, home to ancient trees, cascading streams, and scenic spots like "Double Peaks Viewing" and "Cloud Gate Waterfall." Early mornings bring misty mountain vistas; summer offers cool forest paths perfect for hiking. Join the Nature Discovery Trail, led by expert guides who reveal hidden stone carvings and cave temples from the Southern Dynasties era—connecting nature, history, and spiritual legacy.

Nighttime transforms Foding Temple into a luminous spiritual haven. The Tower of the Buddha’s Crown uses dynamic light projection technology, changing colors with seasonal themes and displaying poetic prayers across its façade. On full moon nights, the Thousand Lantern Prayer Ceremony invites visitors to light lotus lamps and release them into a flowing stream—symbolizing the journey of compassion. The atmosphere is deeply peaceful, offering a rare chance to witness Eastern meditative beauty under starlit skies.

Grand WUJI Hotel, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

Staying at this urban oasis was an absolute delight from the moment I arrived. The Japanese-inspired design is both calming and sophisticated, creating a serene retreat right in the heart of Nanjing. The staff were incredibly welcoming—especially the front desk supervisor who went above and beyond to explain the hotel’s unique features and atmosphere, helping me truly appreciate what makes this place special. I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a Signature Suite, which offered generous space and a private lounge where I enjoyed a delightful afternoon tea. The floor-to-ceiling windows opened up to a lush central lawn, and on that particular day, a couple was filming their wedding photos there—adding a magical touch to the already picturesque view. Breakfast was a highlight: spacious dining area with a wide variety of fresh options. The freshly cooked congee stood out—served with care by a passionate chef who took time to explain each ingredient. Don’t miss it! While the amenities are top-notch, what truly sets this hotel apart is the genuine warmth and professionalism of the team. It’s not just a stay—it’s an experience you’ll want to repeat.

I always look forward to staying here, and special thanks to Xiao Liu Fan for the consistent upgrade service—there’s always a pleasant surprise! The attention to detail is outstanding, making every visit feel personalized and welcoming. The room was immaculately clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. Breakfast offerings were diverse and delicious, with fresh options every day. One small suggestion: having two memory foam pillows alongside the four down pillows would give guests more choice for better sleep comfort. A little tweak that could make an even bigger difference. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish!

Atour Hotel (Nanjing South Railway Station)

This business trip stay at Atour Hotel (Nanjing South Railway Station) truly exceeded my expectations. Since I had an early train the next day, I chose this location for its unbeatable proximity to Nanjing South Railway Station—just a short walk away, perfect for stress-free travel. Though the hotel isn’t large, every detail feels thoughtfully designed. The ground floor features a small but functional gym, which was a nice surprise after a long day. I arrived late at night, and considering my need for quiet sleep and the room’s close proximity to the laundry area, the front desk staff member Xuan Yang kindly offered a ¥10 upgrade to a city-view double room—excellent value for money. The room was spacious, clean, and peaceful; the mini-fridge even came stocked with drinks. I slept soundly all night with zero noise disturbance. Breakfast was a highlight—especially the duck blood vermicelli soup, authentic and comforting. I hadn’t booked the airport/train station shuttle in advance, but when I mentioned it, Zhou Xiaoxi on duty went above and beyond to arrange transportation. He even followed up afterward to ask about my experience, showing genuine care for guest satisfaction. The driver, Yu, was professional and prompt, getting me to the station just in time. From start to finish, the service was warm, proactive, and deeply personal. This wasn’t just a place to stay—it felt like being looked after. Highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone visiting Nanjing for work or leisure. A loyalty discount for repeat guests would be a great touch, but even without it, this stay left me with a smile—and a strong intention to return.

Nanjing South Railway Station South Plaza Light House Hotel

I extended my stay by one more day, and the facilities remained top-notch—everything was still in perfect condition. I was moved to a ground-floor room and initially worried about morning noise from the street, but surprisingly, it was incredibly quiet and peaceful throughout the night. The service was once again outstanding—happened to meet the same kind and cheerful staff member from my previous visit, and her warm smile made the whole experience even better. It was such a relaxing weekend getaway, all thanks to Light House Hotel’s thoughtful touches. After enjoying a leisurely coffee break, I headed back home, ready to dive back into the daily grind. But honestly, this little escape left me feeling refreshed and grateful. Great location, excellent value, and genuine hospitality—I’ll definitely be back.
