Shanghai - Jing'an Temple Roof Detail

A detail shot of one of the many roofs on Jing'an Temple with a modern highrise building in the background.

Jing'an Temple (静安寺) was originally built in 247 and located besides Suzhou Creek. Because the original location was deemed unstable due to erosion and flooding the temple was moved to it's current location in 1216.

In 1860, during the Taiping Rebellion, the temple was destroyed and in 1880 re-build.

In 1966, during the Cultural Revolution, the temple was converted to a plastic factory and during this usage the main hall burned down in 1972, the temple was in ruins.

Religious activities began again in 1979, and the temple was choosen as the key Buddhist temple in China. Restoration began in 1984 and the first phase lasted until 1991. The second (still ongoing) reconstruction phase began in 1998. From the outside the temple appears complete, but inside one still sees the reconstruction works ongoing.
