A Complete Guide to a Must-Visit Day Trip at Shanghai's Donglin Temple

"The temple is very quiet. It's not like the outside, the outside is always noisy." An incredibly impressive temple. Seeing is believing, witnessing three Guinness World Records! ✅ The tallest indoor Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue ✅ The tallest Thousand Buddha copper door ✅ The tallest statue of Sudhana 📖 Check-in Guide: There is a free small parking lot at the entrance of Donglin Temple 1⃣ Upon entering the park, you are immediately faced with the tall cloisonné Sudhana standing in the lotus pond. The koi in the pond are colorful and swim around. 2⃣ After visiting each hall, reach the third floor, go to the back wing room where there is an elevator that goes directly to the seventh floor, and walk up the stairs to the eighth floor to see the Five Buddha Crown. You will definitely be shocked by its majesty the moment you see it. 3⃣ The treasured Lingyu Guanyin of the temple is a must-visit. 4⃣ The small doors on either side of the Five Buddha Crown lead to the highest corridor of the Guanyin Pavilion, where you can clearly view the paintings behind the Thousand-Hand Guanyin in the Buddha's light, and admire the reliefs and paintings at the top of the Guanyin Pavilion up close. 5⃣ The elevator to the fourth floor takes you to the vegetarian noodle house. Despite its simple facilities, the taste of the vegetarian noodles is very good. The prices vary from 30 to 20. 6⃣ On the seventh floor, there is an exhibition hall that provides a detailed introduction to Donglin Temple. It also displays several hand gestures of the Buddha and their meanings based on the study of the Dunhuang murals, and presents them in an animated form, which is very interesting. 🔅 Travel tips: 1. A niche travel check-in spot, usually very few people on weekdays. 2. Do not take photos of the Buddha statues inside lightly.
