If you don't visit the world's most expensive temple when you come to Shanghai, it's hard to understand Shanghai

Jing'an Temple, a golden and splendid building, lies quietly among the most bustling skyscrapers in Shanghai. It is said to be worth 5.8 billion, making it the most expensive temple in the world. Around Jing'an Temple, there are high-end shopping malls and buildings, such as Jiuguang Department Store, Ruiou Department Store, Jingpin, Jing'an Kerry Centre, L'Oreal Building, Puli and Swissotel, etc. There are also numerous coffee shops, forming a business circle centered on Jing'an Temple. Therefore, Jing'an Temple is not only a place for quiet cultivation in the bustling city, with a fragrant environment and beautiful Buddhist music; Jing'an Temple is also a symbol of the place of paper-drunk gold fans, the golden Jing'an Pagoda and golden dragons and elephants, and the 8 high and spirited golden lions, seem to be telling people that the consumption in Shanghai is expensive and justified.
