About Jade Buddha Temple
The Jade Buddha Temple is located at No. 170 Anyuan Road, Putuo District, Shanghai. It is named because the Jade Buddha is mainly worshiped in the temple. Because it belongs to the Linji Dharma system of Zen Buddhism and practices Zen, it is also called the Jade Buddha Temple. The Jade Buddha Temple is a building imitating a palace in the Song Dynasty, with a rigorous layout, covering an area of about 11.6 acres, and a construction area of 8856 square meters. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is one of the top ten tourist attractions in Shanghai.
