Oct 10, 2026
Nanjing, October 10, 2026 -- As autumn colors deepen in the Jiangnan region of China, the "Autumn Climb to Niushoushan: Verdant Greenery and Golden Splendor" 2026 Autumn Niushoushan event at the Nanjing Niushoushan kicked off on September 23rd, the Autumn Equinox, and will continue until November. With the arrival of October, a series of activities will unfold : cultural lectures, Dunhuang Culture Week, a photography competition, Double Ninth Festival mountain climbing, and Zen healing retreats will be held, offering domestic and international tourists a diverse autumn travel experience that blends nature, culture, and well-being.
Niushoushan, located in the southern suburbs of Nanjing, is named for its twin peaks that resemble a bull's head. It is one of Nanjing's representative cultural scenic spots. In autumn, the mountain forests are ablaze with color, and buildings such as the Buddha Palace and Buddha Pagoda complement the mountain scenery, making it a perfect place for leisurely strolls, photography, and cultural exploration.
Main experiences from October to November
Seeking Autumn in the Mountains and Forests and Climbing Heights on Double Ninth Festival
Starting October 11th, the "Seeking Autumn in Dongchan" immersive cultural theme activity will be launched. Visitors can explore historical sites along ancient mountain trails and participate in interactive activities. On October 18th, the Double Ninth Festival, Niushoushan will open a 3.6-kilometer hiking route, allowing visitors to climb the mountain and enjoy the autumn scenery of Nanjing.
The photography competition is open for submissions worldwide.
Niushoushan, in partnership with Visual China 500PX, has launched the "One Mountain, One World: Niushou in Light and Shadow" photography competition, adopting a "one theme, two venues, year-round operation" model to solicit submissions globally. Southeast Asian photographers, travel bloggers, and photography enthusiasts are all welcome to participate.
The Twelve Lectures of Niushou Continue
As an important brand of Nanjing's "City of Literature" urban cultural living room, the "Niushou Twelve Lectures" will continue this autumn. On October 20, renowned scholars of literature, history, and philosophy will gather to discuss philosophical reflections on life and emotions amidst the everyday world; on November 14, Xu Xiaoyue will enter the lecture hall to share how to find relaxation and ease in a fast-paced life.
Dunhuang Cultural Week brings stories of mural restoration
In October, Niushoushan will collaborate with the Dunhuang Culture Week. Fan Zaixuan, a researcher at the Dunhuang Academy and a master craftsman, will visit Niushoushan to share the dedication and craftsmanship behind the mural restoration. This will be a rare opportunity for Southeast Asian tourists who love Eastern art and cultural heritage to exchange ideas.
Autumn healing experiences are gradually opening.
Niushoushan's new healing brand, "Autumn Colors of Tianque Mountain Heal the Soul," brings healing experiences to the autumn mountains and forests. Five senses healing experiences, including Baduanjin exercises, themed meditation, singing bowl sound therapy, incense appreciation, and handmade incense balls, will be launched gradually, suitable for tourists who wish to slow down and find peace of mind during their travels.
Zheng He's Maritime Silk Road project connects Nanjing with Southeast Asia.
The "Sailing Across the Seas: Mutual Learning Among Civilizations" Zheng He Maritime Silk Road Cultural Exchange Project, launched during the event, leverages Nanjing's strategy for applying for World Heritage status for the Maritime Silk Road and the unique cultural resources of the Zheng He Tomb at Niushoushan. It collaborates with organizations such as UNESCO and the Asian Heritage Management Institute to tell the story of Niushoushan and Zheng He's Maritime Silk Road to the world. Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Seas have deep historical ties with many parts of Southeast Asia, and this project also provides a new entry point for Southeast Asian tourists to understand Nanjing's history of exchange with the region.
In addition, Niushoushan also launched the "Guanyan OPC Digital Innovation Platform" and the "Symbiosis of All Things" Niushou Green Public Welfare Program. The former provides individuals, small and micro teams, and cultural institutions with low-threshold, asset-light, and sustainable digital management tools; the latter, in conjunction with Meituan, Nanjing Forestry University, the National Innovation Alliance for Digital Application and Ecological Design of Landscape Plants of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, and Deji Group, promotes scientific research, popular science, and public welfare to protect the mountain forest ecology.
