#Shanghai Attractions As a historical and cultural heritage, Nanshan Ancient Temple has become an important cultural attraction in Shanghai, attracting believers and tourists who come here to learn and explore the essence of Buddhist culture. When you climb Nanshan, the first thing that comes into view is the towering main hall building of the temple ruins. Although it has experienced the baptism of time, it can still see the grand momentum and religious style of the year. The exquisite carvings and rich paintings on the exterior walls of the temple add to the sacred style of this temple. Walking along the quiet stone steps, you can feel the strong Buddhist atmosphere. There are also a large number of precious stone sculptures and inscriptions left in the temple ruins. The majestic and harmonious Buddha statues and the mysterious Sanskrit seal carvings all reflect that this place was once a Buddhist cultural center in the Tang Dynasty. If you savor these cultural relics and courtyards carefully, you can not only understand the long history of this temple, but also feel the rich religious philosophy.
