Jing’an Buddha Temple - Shanghai

#passionpassport Jing'an Temple is one of the most famous temples in Shanghai which is located at West Nanjing Road, Jing'an District, the flourishing downtown area of Shanghai. In 1983, it was put on the list of key national protection. There are three main halls here: The Mahavira Hall, the Hall of Heavenly Kings and the ThreeSage Hall. In Mahavira Hall, the biggest pure jade portrait of Sakyamuni in Mainland China is placed. Jing'an Temple is a good place to escape the hustle and bustle of crowds in downtown Shanghai. In the meantime, you can enjoy the marvellous painting and calligraphy by Yangzhou's Eight Eccentric Painters in the Exhibition Hall of Buddhist Relics. An important display of this temple is the bronze bell which was made in the Ming Dynasy. #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations
