The Modern Niushan Buddhist Temple
Nanjing, Jiangsu | October 2025
Niushan Temple in Nanjing impressed me as a striking example of a modern temple. Recently built, it combines contemporary architecture with traditional spiritual elements, and its immense, well-organized spaces include escalators to move between floors. Visiting the temple offers a unique experience of modern design meeting religious devotion.
