[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Jingan Temple (Updated Apr)

Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station. Shanghai's subway is very convenient and can reach almost all the scenic spots. Especially Line 2, which goes to Jing'an Temple, Nanjing Road, the Bund, Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, and other attractions. Itinerary: Day 1: Shanghai Tower (4A)—The Bund—Nanjing Road Shanghai Tower is 632 meters high, the tallest building in China and the third tallest in the world. Together with the nearby Shanghai World Financial Center and Jin Mao Tower, they are known as the "Big Three of Lujiazui". Take the elevator to the 118th floor, and you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower beneath your feet. The 360° panoramic glass windows offer a full view of Shanghai. After leaving Shanghai Tower, walk 500 meters to Dongchang Road Wharf, where you can take a ferry to the Bund Ferry Terminal on the opposite bank for only two yuan. There's no need to spend money on a Huangpu River cruise. My mother said this was the best deal in Shanghai. The Bund's night view is beautiful, so it's recommended to visit after Nanjing Road. Day 2: Yu Garden (4A)—City God Temple—Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China (5A)—Jing'an Temple Yu Garden is a private garden built by Pan Yunduan, who once served as the governor of Sichuan. It is much smaller than the Humble Administrator's Garden and Tiger Hill in Suzhou. The City God Temple is a Taoist temple right next to the exit of Yu Garden. The Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China is also a 5A scenic spot. Those interested in history can come and experience the place where the most important meeting in the history of the Communist Party of China was held in such a small room. It truly is a spark that can start a prairie fire. Jing'an Temple is a temple located in the bustling downtown area. Its roof is entirely covered with golden tiles, which is quite unique. Food: For breakfast, we recommend Shanghai's specialty snacks, such as pan-fried buns and duck blood vermicelli soup from Xiao Yang Sheng Jian. The pan-fried buns are filled with flavorful soup and have a delicious taste. For lunch, we recommend Hua Fu (Lujiazui Center Branch). The tableware, presentation, and taste are all top-notch. The restaurants on Nanjing Road and the Bund are more expensive. Accommodation: We recommend the Jinling Purple Mountain Hotel Shanghai. It's a five-star hotel located near the subway Line 2 in Lujiazui, close to Shanghai Tower. It offers a pleasant environment at a reasonable price.

📍Weiting Qingju Hotel (Jing'an Temple Meilong Town Square Branch) When traveling to Shanghai alone, the most important thing is to choose accommodation with a convenient location. This will not only save travel time, but also allow you to experience the charm of Shanghai more easily. Weiting Qingju Hotel (Jing'an Temple Meilong Town Square Branch) is strategically located in Jing'an District. It is surrounded by many restaurants, shops and bars, making it very suitable for tourists who like to enjoy a rich nightlife. The hotel's room facilities are modern, comfortable and clean, with a novel decoration style. It is equipped with high-tech facilities such as smart toilets and smart curtains, providing travelers with the ultimate comfortable experience. I stayed in the Smart Premium King Room, which was spacious and quiet, allowing people to relax and enjoy a good sleep quality. The hotel has a gym and self-service laundry facilities, which are very convenient for travelers' daily needs. The corridor design on each floor is also unique, and you can feel the beautiful visual effect as soon as you get out of the elevator. Overall, this hotel is cost-effective, about $320 per night, and is highly recommended. 💯I booked through trip.com, highly recommend! 📍Address: No. 445, Jiangning Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai #2月好去2025 #Shanghai #ShanghaiTravel #ShanghaiHotel #Shanghaicitywalk #tripcom

There are good shooting positions along the side corridors of the main hall, and the back side is relatively quiet. 7. Sharing on social media: Between seeking others and seeking oneself, I choose to seek Buddha. Between working and advancing, I choose to offer incense. I scoff at feudal superstitions, yet I kneel before the God of Wealth and cannot rise. I burn incense worth dozens of yuan, and make wishes worth millions. To ferry others, to ferry the heart, to ferry oneself. With a flower in hand and a smile on my face, I wish for good fortune and welcome auspiciousness. May the protectors of the void safeguard the unfulfilled fruits of Buddha, and may I first form good connections.

On my last trip to Shanghai, a friend took me to visit this oldest Buddhist temple in Shanghai, Jing’an Temple. Jing'an is only located on Nanjing West Road in Jing'an District, surrounded by large shopping malls, I didn't expect a temple to stand in the bustling city center. The area of ​​Jing'an Temple is very large, if you slowly visit, you have to walk for two hours to walk through, and the temple's environment is very beautiful, the decoration is also very characteristic! Basically every place can be photographed and checked in. Even if you have no religious beliefs, you can come and walk around! I recommend this unique temple to everyone. If you have the opportunity to go to Shanghai, you must go and see it! #OverseasTravel #I miss

It’s always a wonderful experience going to the annual German Christmas market in Shanghai…it really sets the tone to Christmas,especially being far from home. Apart from little ornaments and gift options being overpriced, the food is always different authentic and affordable. I’m only set to go for the food and mulled wine in recent years because in all honesty the other smaller things can be found on taobao waaaay cheaper(I was disappointed to look some of the things up and see the prices)!…. Anyways I would definitely recommend going to the market,it’s a great way to start off the festive season 🎄.#christmaslights

Everyday it’s a perfect excuse to walk around to discover beautiful Christmas decoration. The first picture is just next to the Jing an temple. That area has many stores that were decorated with style and mesmerizing lighting. Other pictures are decoration in restaurant (Casanova) and the Hyatt hotel. #christmasgiveaway

If you are in Shanghai and you like to eat the hotpot…This is a Cave Hotpot that it is so unique decoration with white sand cave. There are 2 floors and private restroom. The restaurant is so convenient to go just located behind the Jingan Temple. #delicious #cavetime

📍Ralph’s cafe. Jingan Kerry center 🚇line2, Jingansi 50m I went to Ralph Lauren Cafe in Shanghai. There was a line of people next to the Ralph Lauren store on the first floor of a large shopping mall called Jingan Kerry Center, so it was easy to find! There were only 3 tables. It could seat 6 people, so I was going to just take out, but luckily, a seat opened up and I was able to sit down and drink a bit. Surprisingly, the menus with chocolate seemed to be popular, but we ordered sweet coffee! It seemed like a lot of people bought the tumbler-like goods for a pretty high price, and the cake order rate was also high! The coffee wasn’t particularly delicious and the seats weren’t comfortable, so I’m not sure if I’ll visit again 🤫🤣 #Shanghai #ShanghaiCafe #HotCafe #RalphLaurenCafe #RestaurantExploration
