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

#mytraveldiary Jing’an Temple (静安寺) is a famous Buddhist temple on West Nanjing Road in Shanghai’s Jing’an District. It was first built in 247 AD and moved to its current site in 1216. The temple itself includes golden halls, tall pagodas, and impressive Buddha statues, including a large jade Buddha and a bronze bell. Though it sits among modern skyscrapers and malls, the temple offers a quiet, peaceful place for prayer and reflection. Many visitors come to burn incense, make wishes, or enjoy the calm atmosphere and history of this nearly 1,800-year-old landmark.

In the heart of Shanghai, a bustling metropolis, lies a tranquil sanctuary for the soul—Jing'an Temple. As one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Shanghai, Jing'an Temple boasts a history spanning over a thousand years, dating back to the Eastern Wu period of the Three Kingdoms. Having undergone multiple reconstructions and periods of decline, the temple today serves not only as a sacred site for devotees but also as a significant cultural landmark for visitors exploring Shanghai. Upon entering the temple, visitors are greeted by a magnificent array of golden architectural structures. The upturned eaves and intricately carved flying cornices stand in stark contrast to the modern skyscrapers lining Nanjing West Road. Inside the main hall, an eight-meter-tall jade Buddha is enshrined, exuding an aura of solemnity and serenity. Worshippers hold incense sticks, bowing in prayer before the Buddha, while the wafting incense smoke creates an atmosphere of reverence and peace. The chime of Jing'an Temple's bell holds a special place in the hearts of many Shanghai residents. The annual New Year bell-ringing ceremony attracts countless locals and tourists, symbolizing the welcoming of the new year with wishes for peace and prosperity. The temple also houses numerous precious artifacts, including a Tang Dynasty bronze bell, Northern Song Dynasty stone scriptures, and Yuan Dynasty Buddha statues. These treasures not only bear witness to the passage of time but also showcase the profound artistry of Buddhist culture. Beyond its religious ambiance, the area surrounding Jing'an Temple has become a bustling urban hub due to its prime location. Stepping out of the temple, one is greeted by a vibrant scene of trendy shopping centers and cafes, where tradition and modernity intertwine, reflecting Shanghai's unique cultural charm. Jing'an Temple is more than just a place of worship; it serves as a bridge connecting the ancient with the contemporary, the bustling with the serene. Whether you come to seek blessings or to find a moment of inner peace, Jing'an Temple offers a truly unique and moving experience.

It was a special forces two-day tour, walking non-stop every day. The route map was mostly based on other travelers' guides, and I took photos at almost every check-in spot. My travel advice is to take it slow and get to know the culture, don’t just rush through. Otherwise, you’ll end up like me, walking to the next check-in spot every day, and once you arrive, just snapping photos and leaving. For example, from Wukang Building to Jing’an Temple and Malu Villa, each check-in spot is about a kilometer apart, a 20-minute walk, a few minutes of photos, then off again (crowded with people). To sum it up in one word—tiring~ But the Bund at night is really beautiful and bustling, and Nanjing Road pedestrian street is lively. However, on some of the quieter side streets, there are many old houses with no residents, which felt a bit disconnected to me. A few days ago, I saw someone say that rich people call Shanghai "Magic City," while poor people just call it Shanghai, which feels very true. The cost of living here is really high. Although it seems like there’s a lot to eat, I honestly didn’t know what to choose. Also, I want to say, the night view under the Oriental Pearl Tower isn’t as good as Chongqing’s; the Bund area is the most beautiful.

#asiabudgetchallenge #shanghai #temple #jingantemple #china Jingan Temple in Shanghai is truly a fascinating blend of ancient and modern. This thousand-year-old temple sits right in the heart of the bustling city center, surrounded by towering modern skyscrapers. Despite its historic roots, it still feels alive and vibrant today. The entrance fee is CNY 50, which many visitors find worthwhile to experience the peaceful and grand atmosphere inside. At night, when the temple’s lights turn on, it looks especially magnificent — the golden glow against the city skyline creates a stunning contrast that highlights its timeless beauty. Highly recommend to take picture with the temple at night!!

In Shanghai, a fast-paced and dazzling metropolis, if you seek a place to rest your soul, Jing'an Temple is undoubtedly one of the most ideal retreats. This ancient temple is located in a bustling commercial district yet stands as a pure land of its own, like a spiritual oasis amid the urban clamor. The architecture of Jing'an Temple cleverly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern spatial aesthetics—for example, the golden flying eaves and vermilion walls shine brilliantly under the reflection of nearby skyscrapers, vividly expressing its aesthetic imagery. The temple’s most distinctive feature is the "Mahavira Hall," which houses a majestic fifteen-ton pure silver statue of Shakyamuni Buddha; the "Guanyin Hall" enshrines a Guanyin statue carved from thousand-year-old camphor wood, emitting a natural fragrance that calms the mind; and the "Muni Hall" contains a delicately crafted white jade statue of Muni Buddha, uniquely showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. Jing'an Temple, a Buddhist ancient temple with a history spanning over a thousand years, was originally built during the Three Kingdoms period (247 AD) by the monk Kang Senghui and was initially named "Huduchongyuan Temple." The temple suffered damage multiple times due to the Taiping Rebellion and the Cultural Revolution, until reconstruction began in 1984. In 1991, the consecration ceremony for the Mahavira Hall and the Jade Buddha statue was held, marking the temple’s revival and glory. In fact, the revival of Jing'an Temple reflects Shanghai’s transformation from a water town to an international metropolis. Today, the temple still maintains its solemn Buddhist layout while showcasing an architectural beauty that blends tradition with modernity. The architectural design of Jing'an Temple follows the traditional Chinese temple layout of "front temple, rear pagoda," arranged along a central axis. From the mountain gate, Mahavira Hall, Dharma Hall to the pagoda, the spaces progress layer by layer with clear spatial order. This layout not only guides the flow of worshippers but also symbolizes the spiritual journey of practitioners gradually moving from the external world into meditation, entering the realms of concentration, insight, and wisdom. Although the temple is situated in a busy urban area filled with traffic, it creates a "spiritual decompression space" through its Zen-inspired environment and architectural aesthetics. Whether for sincere prayers and vows or simply to relax, visitors can experience the tranquility of Zen and the harmony of nature here, allowing the body and mind to unwind and find a moment of peace amid times of distress and confusion.

Wander through mottled alleys, touch the marks of time; pause at distinctive architectural clusters, listen to the legends of the past; as dusk falls, the entire city transforms into a dazzling galaxy, showcasing its bustling charm.

Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Shanghai Hongqiao Station. Shanghai’s metro is very convenient, and most attractions are accessible. Especially Line 2, which passes by Jing’an Temple, Nanjing Road, The Bund, Oriental Pearl Tower, and Shanghai Tower. Itinerary: Day 1: Shanghai Tower (4A) — The Bund — Nanjing Road Shanghai Tower, standing 632 meters tall, is the tallest building in China and the third tallest in the world. Along with the nearby Shanghai World Financial Center and Jin Mao Tower, it forms the Lujiazui "three-piece set." Take the elevator to the 118th floor to see the Oriental Pearl Tower right below. The 360° panoramic glass offers a full view of Shanghai. After leaving Shanghai Tower, walk 500 meters to Dongchang Road Pier. For just two yuan, you can take a ferry to the Bund ferry terminal on the opposite bank, which is much cheaper than taking a cruise on the Huangpu River. My mother said this is the best value activity in Shanghai. The night view of the Bund is beautiful; it’s recommended to visit after exploring Nanjing Road. Day 2: Yuyuan Garden (4A) — City God Temple — Site of the First National Congress of the CPC (5A) — Jing’an Temple Yuyuan Garden is a private garden built by Pan Yunduan, a former Sichuan provincial governor. It is much smaller than Suzhou’s Humble Administrator’s Garden and Tiger Hill. The City God Temple is right next to the Yuyuan Garden exit and is a Taoist temple. The site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China is also a 5A attraction. History enthusiasts can visit to experience this historically significant meeting, which was held in such a small room. Truly a spark that can start a prairie fire. Jing’an Temple is a temple located in the bustling city center, with a roof covered entirely in golden tiles, making it very unique. Dining: For breakfast, we recommend Shanghai’s specialty snacks at Xiao Yang Shengjian, known for their pan-fried buns and duck blood vermicelli soup. The buns are juicy and flavorful. For lunch, Huafu (Lujiazui Central Branch) is recommended, offering excellent tableware, presentation, and taste. Dining prices on Nanjing Road and The Bund tend to be higher. Accommodation: We recommend the Jinling Purple Mountain Hotel Shanghai. It is located next to Metro Line 2 in Lujiazui, close to Shanghai Tower, a five-star hotel with a nice environment and reasonable prices.

📍Weiting Qingju Hotel (Jing'an Temple Meilong Town Plaza Branch) When traveling alone in Shanghai, the most important thing is to choose accommodation in a convenient location.

1. Reservation for incense offering: Search for 'Shanghai Jing'an Temple' on WeChat to make a reservation. Incense and flower coupons are available for 50 yuan, and you can enter at any time on the day of your choice. You may bring your own incense, but there is a fee of 10 yuan for a bundle of incense (three sticks) at the entrance. 2. Route selection: There are many commercial buildings around the temple, and there is a pedestrian street behind it. It may be difficult to park if taking a taxi, so it is recommended to take the subway Line 2 or Line 7 to Jing'an Temple Station. 3. Luggage storage: There are free luggage storage facilities at the south area B1 of the shopping mall at subway exit 8 and at the north area B2 of the shopping mall at subway exit 6. 4. Entering to offer incense: With the ticket purchased in advance, find the QR code on the reservation interface, and the staff at the entrance will scan it. If you wish to buy incense, turn right after entering where there is a stall. Incense can only be burned in the outdoor incense burner, and open flames are not allowed inside the halls, so you can choose to offer and burn incense before or after visiting the halls for worship. 5. Taboos and steps for worship: Do not step on the threshold, do not wear overly revealing clothes, do not take temple money out of the temple, do not throw coins, and do not toss money; sincerity is what matters most. 6. Photography tips: Try to take oblique shots of the pavilion scenes, take close-ups, and wear plain clothes rather than flashy ones for better photos. 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.
