Unisa Palace in Niushou mountain

• Background

Niushou Mountain is the birthplace of Niutou Culture in the history. The JinLing Buddhism Temple drawing shows us that during the most prosperous time of Niushou Mountain, it was crowded with temples.Because of the losing west peak of the existing NiuShou Mountain. It created a wrecked natural view.

• Design concept

The core of scenic area construction is as follows: fixing the heavenly peaks, meaning restoring mountain massif and recovering twin peaks; building underground palace, meaning making use of the natural pit to build Usnisa Palace for enshrining Usnisa; renovating the sacred road, meaning expanding original tunnel for exhibiting Sakyamuni’s life story and understanding the way to become Buddha; revealing twin pagodas, meaning constructing Usnisa Pagoda and reproducing the grand pattern of twin pagodas; spreading five levels of Chan(Zen Buddhism) and understanding the atmosphere of Chan in rivers and mountains.

• Culture
