(Jing’an Si; 1686-1688 West Nanjing Rd; 1686-1688 admission Y30; 7.30am-5pm; Jing’an Temple) After over a decade of restoration, Jing’an Temple is finally coming together as one of the city’s most eye-catching temples. Although it lacks an air of venerability and there are fewer devotees than at the Jade Buddha Temple, there can be no denying its spectacular location among the district’s soaring skyscrapers.

Constructed largely of Burmese teak, the temple has recently installed some gorgeous statues, including a massive 8.8m-high, 15-tonne silver Buddha in the main Mahavira Hall, and a 6.2m-high camphor Guanyin and 3.86m-high white jade Sakyamuni in the side halls. At the time of writing, the rear hall and other parts of the temple were still undergoing renovation.

Khi Vehdu, who ran Jing’an Temple in the 1930s, was one of the most remarkable figures of the time. The nearly 2m-tall abbot had a large following as well as seven concubines, each of whom had a house and a car. During the Cultural Revolution the temple was shorn of its Buddhist statues and turned into a plastics factory before burning to the ground in 1972.

Good times to visit include the Festival of Bathing Buddha on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month and at the full moon.
