Jade Buddha Temple

#chinatravel

The Jade Buddha Temple, founded in 1882, is a spiritual haven amidst Shanghai’s bustling streets. It houses two magnificent jade Buddha statues brought from Burma—one seated, the other reclining—both carved from pure jade and adorned with gemstones. The temple’s intricate halls, incense-filled courtyards, and chanting monks create an atmosphere of calm reverence. In addition to religious significance, the site offers insight into Buddhist art, architecture, and ritual practices. Visitors are welcome to participate in ceremonies, light incense, and even enjoy vegetarian meals prepared on-site. It’s an oasis of peace in a modern metropolis.
