4.0Jing'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..

Built in the early Song Dynasty (960-1279), it is the oldest and largest temple in Shanghai. It is popularly believed that the temple gained its name Longhua from the legendary “Longhua” tree with branches extending some 20 kilometers, under which the Maitreya Buddha was enlightened.See more..
4.5Shou'an Temple(3 reviews) - Sacred. Large. Spiritual. Religious Sites
Sacred. Large. Spiritual. Clean. Peaceful. Kind. Tranquil. Pleasant. Holy. Calm. Worth whatever time it takes you to arrive to this location. Be sure to look around, absorb, feel the history, the peace, the calmness. Regardless of what religion you practice, this space - the space within these walls is comfortable and tranquil. Be aware, should you visit on a weekend or a holiday, suspect the situation maybe a little different: more movement, people, noise but I visited on a week day, non-holiday and was so happy I did.See more..
