    Pictured here, another of the thousands and thousands of Buddha projections that are located in Asia... This one is a colorful view of the enlightened Buddha seated on a jagged rock formation, overlooking the sea... So many image projections...

    Shanghai's most famous Buddhist temple is cramped in between a row of otherwise rather undistinguished buildings, and is itself, not especially attractively designed... But it does have one saving grace that makes it a definite must see: a 2 meter high, 1000 kg, shimmering white jade Buddha...! This Buddha statue is so great that I'm glad I didn't take a photo because it's better that you see it in person... The Buddha that you see in this photo is not the white jade Buddha, but a reclining Buddha from another part of the temple...

    The Jade Buddha temple stands in the place of an old temple built in 1882, to keep two jade Buddha statues which had been brought from Burma by a monk named Huigen.
    This original temple was destroyed during the revolution that ended the Dynasty and the new one that replaced it was called by the people The Jade Buddha Temple.

    There are not one but two Buddhas and they are are carved in two blocks of white jade.

    The sitting Buddha (190 cm tall) is a meditating oneand the recumbent one (96 cm long) is in the so-called "lucky repose" position (see pic).

    The temple keeps as well other statues of heroes and warriors and more than 7,000 Dazang sutras which are unique relics of the Buddhist religion.

    Great place to visit, Full of monks and local worshippers, and guides who want you to buy expensive souvenirs, We opted instead to put money in the charity box. Its open from 8am - 4.30pm. Its an active Zen Buddhist shrine and the temple dates back to 1882. The focal points are 2 white jade buddha statues carved from a single slab of Burmese jade, one sitting and the other reclining. ( pictures and video cannot be taken of the sitting one). you have to pay twice, once to enter, and the other if you want to view the 2 center pieces.

    This is a nice quiet temple in bustling Shanghai. From Jing An district, the walk to this temple takes about 20 minutes. The jade is imported from Myanmar if I can still remember...Nice quiet place to relax and spend your morning.

    Small but beautiful park in downtown Shanghai, filled with rock gardens, song birds and hundreds of people doing Ta' chi, dancing and drumming.

    The Yufo (Jade Buddha) Temple With a history of more than 100 years, is one of the well-known Buddhist temples in Shanghai. The temple was built in 1882, covering an area of 8,000 square meters. The temple got its name because of the two statues of Sakyamuni brought from Burma - one in standing position and one in sitting position. The seated Buddha statue is as high as 1.9 meters, carved from a complete white jade piece. It is said to weigh 1,000 kilograms, ornamented with jewels. It is an art treasure. The temple also houses large numbers of ancient carvings, paintings and precious Buddhist cultural relics. (Admission)
