About this Temple Tour:
Begin at Longhua Temple (龙华寺), Shanghai's oldest temple with 1,000+ years of history from the Three Kingdoms period. Marvel at the seven-story Longhua Pagoda, a stunning Song Dynasty architectural gem.
Discover the temple's grand halls while learning about Mahayana Buddhism's traditions and symbolism. Participate in the ancient ritual of burning incense and making wishes—experience how locals seek blessings and tranquility.
Try the temple's renowned vegetarian noodles (素面) if lucky—a beloved simple dish. Keep an eye out for the friendly temple cats basking in sunny spots!
After the temple, dive into the neighborhood's street food scene. Savor authentic Shanghai favorites: delicate soup dumplings (小笼包) and crispy pan-fried buns (生煎包).
This tour bridges ancient Zen serenity and vibrant modern Shanghai street culture—all within walking distance.
