4.0 Jing'an Temple (1.416 reviews)
- Nice Temple Area
Wednesday: Spent 2-3 hours Historic Sites • Religious Sites

Temple area is nice and it was not too busy when we went in July 2021. Lots of cool wood carving and ornate pieces. The temple is just outside Jing An Station and is surrounded with good restaurants and malls. Quite a few areas were closed and locked up including the bell and drum tower so we weren't able to see as much as we would have liked. The cost to enter was 50 yuan and we spent about an hour here. Have your health codes ready. See more..
