A temple you can’t miss in Shanghai: Jing’an Temple

There are many temples worth visiting in Shanghai, one of which is Jing'an Temple, which can be said to be the one that best fits the temperament of Shanghai, the Magic City. In the middle of a bustling commercial center sits a magnificent temple, surrounded by tall buildings, which looks quite magical in contrast. It seems that only the Daci Temple in Chengdu and the Luohan Temple in Chongqing can create this feeling. [Cute] The whole temple has a structure of a temple in front and a pagoda in the back. It consists of three main buildings: the Great Hall, the Hall of Heavenly Kings, and the Hall of Three Saints. It is the oldest Buddhist temple in Shanghai. The temple houses famous paintings by Bada Shanren and Wen Zhengming's authentic long scroll of "Pipa Xing". Jing'an District is also famous for Jing'an Temple. The architectural style of Jing'an Temple imitates the architectural style before the Ming Dynasty, and the typical representative is the shape of bracket sets. [TeaDrinker] The Jing'an Pagoda is a seven-story square with a Vajra throne style pagoda top, cast in bronze and covered in gold. The Golden Buddha Hall is located on the top floor of the Dharma Hall behind the Main Hall. It imitates the architectural style of the Song Dynasty and has a teak and copper roof structure. A two-ton pure gold statue of Sakyamuni Buddha will be enshrined in the hall. Ticket price: 50 yuan. Transportation information: Shanghai Metro Line 2 Jing'an Temple Station.
