In the western part of Shanghai, there is a venerable and famous Buddhist temple, Jade Buddha Temple. In 1882, an old temple was built to keep two jade Buddha statues which had been brought from Burma by a monk named Huigen. The temple was destroyed during the revolution while the jade Buddha statues were saved and a new temple was built on the present site in 1928. Attraction Intro: Jade Buddha Temple
