Surroundings

Jing An Temple The Jing An district takes its name after the iconic Jing An temple.  Despite being dwarfed by the surrounding skyscrapers, the Jing An Temple’s awe-inspiring gold-themed architecture holds its ground and commands the respect befitting a heritage site.   The temple’s roots date back to the Song dynasty in 1216. Having undergone numerous transformations over the centuries, the temple houses the largest jade Buddha in China and a copper bell from the Ming dynasty.  The temple was expanded in 1921, further enhancing its grandeur.  It was converted into a plastic factory during the Cultural Revolution and was even destroyed by a fire. Finally, it was restored to its former glory in 1983 at a cost of US$1 million. Jing An Park Developed as a city park in 1954, Jing An Park is located in the heart of the city.  The park is likened to an oasis in the middle of an urban jungle.  Despite being small, the unassuming park encompasses a water feature, lush greenery and blooming flowers.  Visitors can treat themselves to a display of Tai Chi every morning from the elderly park goers who do it as a form of exercise.  In another corner, bird lovers display their song birds with pride, receiving mutual admiration from fellow enthusiasts.   Regardless of the time of the day, Jing An Park provides respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. Shanghai Exhibition Centre Beyond the beautiful architecture, the Shanghai Exhibition Centre holds deep historical value and symbolizes the Sino-Soviet friendship of the 1950s to 1960s.  Built in accordance with Soviet Neo-classical architectural specifications, the project was a gift from Stalin of the Soviet Union to the People’s Republic of China.   To date, the Exhibition Centre retains the Soviet architectural grandeur it was in the 1950s, both on the interior and exterior. Chairman Mao’s Former Residence The Mao House was the former residence of Chairman Mao Tse Tung during his third visit to Shanghai.  In his lifetime, Chairman Mao made 55 trips to Shanghai.  During his stay from 5 May 1920 to 7 July 1920, the chairman notably made several political contributions from this humble residence along Anyi Road.  Aside from playing an integral role in making the “Hunan Self-Governance Movement” possible, he also penned several papers from this very apartment.   The Mao House is listed as an official site for “Red Tourism” and protected by the state.  Today, the house is a proud component of the Jing An Kerry Centre and is being restored as a museum.
