Longhua Temple

Shanghai

  • Longhua Temple is the older and grandest temple in Shanghai, having been established in 242 AD. The stunning red pagoda is seven stories tall but is not open to the public. However, you may tour the temple’s five principal halls, each of which is lined with sculptures.
  • These are packed with exquisite sculptures, 500 of which are golden statues that glitter in the sunshine, and several Buddhas.
