Situated in the western part of Shanghai, the Jade Buddha Temple (Chinese name is 玉佛禅寺) is a Buddhist temple and was first built in 1882. It is famous for housing the two pieces of Jade Buddha imported from Burma – one is the sitting Jade Buddha with 1.95 meters tall, and the other reclining Jade Buddha with 0.96 meters tall.
The Jade Buddha Temple is called the pure land from the modern bustle of Shanghai, where monks may be seen and heard conducting Buddhist ceremonies.
