See The Magic Jade Buddha Temple,Shanghai................

All the people in the world to learn Buddhist religion surely want to visit and see the jade buddha temple in shanghai China.Despite the increasing modern outlook in the city of Shanghai, one of the city "s most visited tourist attractions is a throwback to earlier times. In 1882, a monk dragged a 6 ft white jade Buddha all the way to Shanghai from Myanmar, with only a vague idea of how he was going to construct a temple around the precious artifact. Though the original temple was destroyed in 1928, the giant Buddha, along with a smaller, recumbent version of the statue were both rescued, and now rest at the rebuilt temple, located less than a mile from downtown Shanghai.

Information of the Jade Buddha Temple (also known as Yufo Si) is everywhere in the city, so finding the temple is rarely an issue, even for the novice traveler. Many choose to stop off at the temple during a bike tour of the city - considering its proximity to the city center, this is usually one of the first places to rest and take in a bit of the Scenic City. But no one comes for the Porcelain artworks and ancient paintings that are also stored here. Though there are over 7000 Dazang sutras kept in the Jade Buddha Tower, but those are not the visual display that many hope for visitors.

Though the city stays awake deep into the Chinese night, you may want to take note of the closing time, an ever-shifting bits of information on the Jade Buddha Temple that could result in a metro ride for nothing, though the exterior is still quite impressive in the orange of the evening.
