Top 10 Sacred & Religious Sites in Shanghai, Shanghai Region

May 19, 2021 Malia Yoakum

The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

Longhua Temple

Built in the early Song Dynasty (960-1279), it is the oldest and largest temple in Shanghai. It is popularly believed that the temple gained its name Longhua from the legendary “Longhua” tree with branches extending some 20 kilometers, under which the Maitreya Buddha was enlightened.

An oasis of calm in a very busy bustling part of a busy city. Our guide Penny was very knowledgable and her English was excellent. No question too difficult. She was also very helpful with transportation back showing us how to use the Metro and get a week pass.
