The best time to pray and worship Buddha: the first day/fifteenth day of each month (lunar calendar) route: it is recommended to take the subway, which can go directly. Jing 'an Temple is next to the subway station, and you can see it when you leave the station.

Route planning after entering: buy tickets first. Scan the code at the door to buy tickets. Tickets are 30 yuan/person, and tickets are also called fragrant flower coupons. Then buy incense. After entering Jing 'an Temple, you can scan the applet in the square to buy incense, incense 5 yuan/stick, 3 sticks each. Then light incense next to the incense burner, worship in four directions after lighting, and put unburned incense on the incense burner for peace after worshipping.

Go to the right corridor facing the gate. There is a place to exchange coins. Coins can be used as incense money when worshipping Buddha. Enter the temple to worship all the gods and buddhas. There are Guanyin, Tathagata and so on. When I went, there were four Buddha statues to worship. Everyone must remember to worship. Usually there are more than 15 people on the first day of junior high school, and there may be a queue.

Jing'an Temple

Jing 'an Temple, also known as Jing 'an Ancient Temple, is located in Jing 'an District, Shanghai. Its history can be traced back to the tenth year of Sun Wu Chiwu in the Three Kingdoms (247), and it was originally named Hudu Chongxuan Temple. In the first year of Xiangfu in Song Dynasty (1008), it was renamed Jing 'an Temple. In the ninth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (12 16), the temple was moved from Wusong River to Lupu Boiling Well (now Nanjing West Road), which was built before Shanghai.

Jing 'an Temple has a total construction area of 22,000 square meters. The whole temple forms the pattern of front hall and rear tower. It is the oldest Buddhist temple in Shanghai, and consists of three main buildings: Daxiong Hall, Tianwang Hall and three temples.
