Jing’an Temple – Golden Serenity in the Heart of Shanghai

#cityplaybook In the midst of Shanghai’s futuristic skyline, Jing’an Temple offers a peaceful contrast with its golden rooftops and incense-filled air. Located on the bustling West Nanjing Road, this centuries-old Buddhist temple invites travelers to pause, reflect, and admire a sacred space amid the modern rush. Things to Do: • Light incense and make a wish at the towering bronze censer • Explore intricately carved halls and golden Buddha statues • Take rooftop photos that contrast temple charm with skyscraper glass Tips: • Arrive early (before 10:00 AM) for a quieter experience • Modest clothing is appreciated (shoulders and knees covered) • Entrance fee is modest — cash or WeChat accepted Address/Location: Jing’an Temple (静安寺) 1686 Nanjing West Road, Jing’an District, Shanghai, China 📍Directly accessible via Jing’an Temple Metro Station (Line 2 or 7) A timeless sanctuary in a city that never stops — and a must-visit for both spiritual and architectural travelers. #china #temple #shanghai
