The recommended route for a one-day tour of Niushou Mountain is: Niushou Square → Foding Temple → Foding Tower → Foding Palace.

in terms of transportation, self-driving is the most convenient way. You can directly search for "Niushou Mountain" or "No.18 Ningdan Avenue" in the navigation. There are parking lots at the east and west gates of the scenic spot, but it is more convenient to have free parking lots near the west gate.

if you take public transportation, you can take subway line 1 to Tianlong Temple Station, then take exit 2, transfer to bus No.755 or No.712, and get off at the terminal "Niushoushan Scenic Spot Station", which is the east gate of the scenic spot.

after entering the garden, you can choose to enter from the west gate or the east gate. The west gate is close to Foding Palace, only 25 minutes' walk away, which is the best route to visit Foding Palace. If you want to visit the scenic spot completely, it is recommended to enter from the east gate.
