A seriously underrated niche temple in Shanghai… feels like Kyoto|||

This seriously underrated niche temple in Shanghai is so beautiful it makes you momentarily think you've arrived in Kyoto 🍁 When I went at the end of October, the maple leaves were already red, and it’s a hidden gem with few people and stunning scenery! 📍 Baoshan Temple Address: No. 518 Luoxi Road, Luodian Town, Baoshan District, Shanghai (next to Lianqi River) Opening Hours: 07:00-16:00 Last weekend I happened to catch a sunny day, and the entire temple was bathed in golden sunlight—perfect for photos! The Tang-style wooden architecture paired with red maples is truly a rare photo spot in Shanghai. The best part is there are very few tourists, so you can take as many photos as you want~ I recommend wearing plain-colored Hanfu or modern Chinese-style outfits; the results are amazing! 🚗 Transportation tips: 1. Driving is the most convenient; the temple has a parking lot 2. Take Metro Line 7 to Luonan Xincun Station, then a 10-minute taxi ride 3. Bus Baoshan Line 31 to Luoxi Road Shiyi Road stop 🌟 Useful tips: - The best lighting is around 2-3 PM - Bring some coins for wishing by tossing them - There’s an outlet mall within 1 km for shopping - Please keep quiet while taking photos~
