Jade Buddha Temple
|
| The Jade Buddha Temple (Yufo Si) was built during the troubled reign of the Qing Emperor Guangxu (1875-1908) and burned down after having been occupied during the 1911 revolution. The temple takes its name from the original two white jade Buddha statues that abbot Hui Gen brought with him from Burma—a sitting statue about 1.95 meters (almost 6 1/2 feet) in height and a smaller reclining Buddha. Today's temple also contains a third, even larger Buddha from Singapore. Between 1918 and 1928, the Jade Buddha Temple we see today was constructed on Anyuan Lu in the architectural style of the Song Dynasty. Composed of several separate buildings—the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Main Hall, the Hall of the Sleeping Buddha, and the Hall of the Jade Buddha—it is a working temple in which monks live, study and perform rites. |

As a museum of ancient Chinese art, shanghai museum possesses a collection of 120,000 precious works of art. Its rich and high-quality collection of ancient Chinese bronze, ceramics, painting and calligraphy is specially celebrated in the world.
Shanghai Museum is located in People's Square, one of the famous landmarks in Shanghai. There many other places in People's Square you are worth to visit. Shanghai Government is adjacent to the opposite of Shanghai Museum. Next to Shanghai Government is Shanghai Urban Planning Museum, where optimistic projections of boundless-yet carefully managed and controlled-growth take the form of an enormous scale model of future Shanghai and a 360-degree computer-generated city starring a manic animated flying pixie guide. To the west, the Shanghai Grand Theatre updates the traditional upturned Chinese roof in stunning fashion, while a touch of the past remains in the building on the square's northwestern corner. |
