Jing'an Temple (静安寺), a temple in the heart of Shanghai 🛕

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck 🛕Jing’an Temple If you have little time but want to experience the atmosphere of Chinese culture in the heart of Shanghai, Jing’an Temple is a must-see destination! This temple is located on Nanjing West Road, a very bustling area with luxury shopping malls, cafes, pastry shops, and tall buildings. But when you step into the temple, it’s like you’ve stepped into another world — quiet, peaceful, and with a certain energy that calms your mind. This is an old Buddhist temple with a history of over 1,700 years. It stands out with its golden pagoda and a large, beautiful jade Buddha statue. For those who like to pray and ask for blessings, this place is said to bring good health, work, and peace of mind. Another interesting thing is that the temple is surrounded by the modernity of Shanghai. You can see both the old temple and tall buildings in one frame. It’s perfect for taking pictures, especially in the evening when the sun is starting to set. The golden shadow of the temple is so beautiful! 🧧 Things to know before coming • There is an entrance fee (about 50 yuan) • Open daily from 7:30 to 17:00 • There is incense burning and merit-making • It is recommended to dress modestly • In front of the temple, there is a dessert shop called "泸溪河桃酥", which is very delicious!
