peace and tranquility

#travelinginchina A beautiful, relatively peaceful sanctuary within the hustle of Shanghai’s Jing’an district, the temple has centuries of history on this spot but the real estate was used for other purposes during the time of the Cultural Revolution. Fortunately, its intricate architecture has been thoughtfully restored (and expanded) in the decades since it returned to being used as a temple. Jing'an Temple is a must-visit when in Shanghai. It offers not only a glimpse into the city's rich spiritual heritage but also a chance to experience a peaceful retreat amidst the vibrant urban life.
