Description
This temple, which was constructed in 1918, ranks as one of Shanghai's top tourist draws. The interior is heavy in the wow-factor with its classic Chinese architecture and is highlighted by a massive jade statue of Buddha. But what makes this so wildly popular is the ability to witness the temple's resident monks perform their daily ceremonies throughout its four halls. These daily "events" provide amazing first-hand insight to China's ancient religious culture. Visitors are asked to behave accordingly.
