Travel guide for the City God Temple in Shanghai

I had never been to the City God Temple before, until the end of September last year when business was not good, I went to an offline 🔮 house and learned that if you do business in Shanghai, you must pay homage to the City God. I have organized photos from 3 visits to share with everyone. The City God has been stationed here since the Tang Dynasty, bluntly speaking, he is the 'local snake' of Shanghai. Friends who do business in Shanghai should come to pay homage and must not offend him. The above content is all jokes, don't take it too seriously. The City God Temple is a Taoist temple. The worship posture is different from Buddhist temples, but the City God seems not to mind. I always go in as soon as the door opens. There is a fortune-telling event at the City God Temple during the first month of the lunar year. You can check your fortune for the year. The master does not explain, but you can buy a small booklet to interpret the fortune, which is quite accurate. There are also some good things for sale at the entrance of the Wealth God Hall on the fifth day of the lunar year. I highly recommend everyone to come before the New Year holiday. After praying, I usually take another walk around the Nine-Turn Bridge. The nine in the Nine-Turn Bridge refers to the most bends, implying the most auspicious meaning. There are swans and small turtles in the lake under the bridge, which is very lively. At the end of the bridge, you can see a small pit where many coins have been thrown. Make a wish and throw the coin onto the small platform, which also has a good implication of dreams coming true. Departing from the City God Temple, take the subway for two stops to a Yangzhou breakfast shop called 'Ye Chun' near the Laoximen subway station. Usually, the breakfast ends at nine-thirty, so don't miss it. Address: 249 Fangbang Middle Road Opening hours: 8:30-16:30 every day 🎫: 10r
