Shanghai

Shanghai attractions always include a visit to Zhenru Temple to feed the pigeons. Zhenru Temple, compared to the splendid Jing'an Temple and the bustling Longhua Temple, is like a sage who keeps a low profile, profound and restrained. The architecture of Zhenru Temple is very distinctive, with a rich hall style. Apart from the several main halls at the entrance, the most eye-catching feature is its Zhenru Pagoda. The exterior has a total of nine floors, with an additional mezzanine on the first floor plus an underground palace, making it eleven floors in total. Around the outside of the Zhenru Pagoda is a ring of metal prayer wheels, with the Sanskrit six-syllable mantra inscribed on them, which is very impressive. In front of the pagoda is a pigeon loft, where there are many pigeons. You can get up close with the pigeons, and you can also buy pigeon feed to feed them. It's also a great spot for taking photos! Many people come here specifically to see the pigeons! Name: Zhen Temple
