Directly becoming a legend❗️ Viewing Donglin Temple in Jinshan, Shanghai, is truly extraordinary. ❗️ Donglin Temple has set three major world Guinness records: 🔗 The tallest indoor Guanyin statue 🔗 The tallest bronze door: the Thousand Buddha Door 🔗 The tallest cloisonné statue: the Statue of Sudhana 📌 Indoor Guanyin Statue Currently the tallest in Asia, the Guanyin Pavilion, also known as the 'Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas', houses the world's tallest indoor Guanyin statue. The Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue has a total height of 34.101 meters, and witnessing it in person is truly magnificent. 📌 Thousand Buddha Door The Thousand Buddha Door is engraved with 999 bronze Guanyin statues Becoming the world's tallest at 20.08 meters high and 10.295 meters wide, the 999 Guanyin statues form a large 'Buddha' structure of the same height as the door, known as China's number one bronze door, the 'Thousand Buddha Door'. 📌 Statue of Sudhana Upon entering the temple gate, one can see in the pond The world's tallest cloisonné statue standing at 5.408 meters high, which can also rotate 360 degrees. There are 8 dragon carps around it, and it is said that you can throw coins into the mouths of the fish, If you hit it, it will emit 8 auspicious phrases. In addition to the above three world's best attractions, there are many other sights ✏️ For example: 📌 The Five Buddha Crown, Guanyin Pavilion, Three Bridges·Three Gates, Buddha Niches, Illuminated Wall, Bell and Drum Tower, Mahavira Hall, and many other Buddha halls are all worth visiting. 🎫 Ticket: Joint ticket 30 yuan/person (It is recommended to buy the 30 yuan joint ticket, which allows direct entry to each attraction) ✅ Free admission for: People over 70 years old, children under 1.3 meters ⏰ Opening hours: 8:00~16:30 (weekdays) 5:00~16:30 (the first and fifteenth day of each month) (It is recommended to enter at least one and a half hours before closing) 📍 Address: No. 150 Donglin Street, Zhujing Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai Transportation: Exit 3 of Lianhua Road Station on Line 1, take the Lianzhu Special Line or Liangjin Special Line to Zhujing Bus Station, then walk for 10 minutes 🚗 Take a taxi or drive to Donglin Temple

The reason why these two attractions are combined is firstly because they are very close to each other, with less than 7 kilometers distance, about a 10-minute drive, and secondly, the Sea of Flowers is past the peak season of spring blossoms, with cherry blossoms nearing their end and the various grass flowers also coming to a close, not suitable for detailed viewing anymore. In short, at this time, it's not worth making a trip just for the Sea of Flowers, but a visit to Donglin Temple with a side trip to the Sea of Flowers is worthwhile. Donglin Temple, founded during the Yuan Dynasty, has a history of over 700 years. It was originally a Guanyin pavilion, which is why there is the world's tallest indoor statue of the Thousand-Handed Guanyin here (it is forbidden to take photos of the Buddha statue, please be mindful). The later built Guanyin pavilion is extremely magnificent. The Shancai Tongzi statue in the release pond at the entrance is also the world's tallest cloisonné sculpture. The only ancient building in the rebuilt Donglin Temple is the Yuantong Baodian on the east side (photo 2), inside of which is a Yuan Dynasty sculpture of Guanyin made from over a ton of Xinjiang Hetian jade. This unassuming place is the real treasure of Donglin Temple, not to be missed. 📍Detailed address: Donglin Temple: No. 150, Donglin Street, Zhujing Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai.
