It's really not Jingdu! Shanghai's hidden autumn photo spots recommended

Hidden gem in the Magic City! I discovered this stunning Tang-style temple 🏯 Baoshan Temple is truly one of the rare Tang-style architectural complexes in Shanghai, instantly transporting you back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Few people, beautiful scenery, perfect for photos! 🌟 Treasure photo spots overview 📍 Hall of Heavenly Kings The first building you see when entering the temple, the golden roof and red walls with Tang-style design are super impressive. The eaves lines are so beautiful; it's best to take photos when the morning sunlight shines down. 📍 Bell Tower & Drum Tower Two symmetrical buildings on the left and right. You can go up to the second floor to overlook the entire temple. The trendiest photo spot for capturing the temple panorama is here. 📍 Mahavira Hall The golden Buddha statue in the main hall is solemn and majestic. Remember to keep quiet. The incense burner in front of the hall has a great vibe; photos taken with swirling smoke are amazing. 📍 Rear Garden Many people overlook this hidden gem! Pavilions, towers, small bridges with flowing water, and lots of wisteria trellises. It's absolutely beautiful in spring. 📌 Practical information Address: No. 518 Luoxi Road, Luodian Town, Baoshan District Opening hours: 07:00-16:00 Ticket: 10 RMB (cash or scan code accepted) Transportation: Take Metro Line 7 to Meilan Lake Station, then a 10-minute taxi ride 💡 Tips for visiting 1.
