Description:
This is the most famous Buddhist temple in Shanghai and serves as host to the beautiful jade Buddha statues brought to China from Myanmar in 1882. Built in the traditional Song Dynasty style, Buddhist scriptures and paintings grace the interior of this temple that was saved during the Cultural Revolution when monks plastered paintings of Mao on the doors. The Red Guards dared not violate them. More than 70 monks live here today.
