This is a peaceful temple, and I chanced upon 2-3 Caucasians during my trip here. Like other temples, there is an entrance fee of RMB 50 per person, and additional charges for the purchase of incense for prayer.
The temple is generally well preserved, though slightly aged. There are lesser tourists in this temple compared with Jade Buddha Temple. It is an ancient temple with a history and houses different Buddha in multiple shrines, and mainly attracts devout local Buddhists to pray. Jing’an Temple, like any other typical Chinese monastery, is preserved in traditional Chinese architecture. Now that we have seen the temple I will only go back when my parents visit, I do not need to see it again.
It wasn't too busy (four days before the new lunar year) so it was very pleasant to walk around. Same thing for my wife (she isn't local either) luckily we had cash (can't remember the last time we carried any so we were sent inside and off into the room at the right, under the bell tower, which seems to be a place just for donations there was a walled area in the middle with coins and notes, like a dry wishing well.
#Shanghai jing an temple verification#
That was after trying to buy tickets - scanned a QR code, requested a text verification but it never came. Having seen the temple from outside on a number of occasions (living in in Shanghai since summer 2020) we finally got around to being in the area when it is open so we went in. It say here that 2-3 hours is needed we were there for less than one and that was fine. Tickets are 50RMB - open daily 7am to 5pm according to Smart Shanghai).
