Shanghai Chenghuang Temple is a interesting place to visit. It is Taoist temple. People of faith came here but many of them were tourists like us as well. Can get busy as well. We were visiting the Shanghai Old Street and found this temple. It is worth a visit if you are in this area.

It’s a beautiful and serene place of worship with many devotees present and praying here right till the late hours in the night. The place is kept neat and clean and well looked after. A must visit when you visit Shanghai.

A very lovely place of worship, as a tourist, please make sure that you’re not invading the privacy or disturbing the rituals of the devotee’s present there. Please make sure not enter into the various temple premises without seeking permission of the concerned authorities. All in all a very beautiful place where you get to see a glimpse of traditional chinese religion. The temple is near a very beautiful palace/garden. The whole of area is surrounded by a very big bazar. Do try the humongous mangoes they sell right outside the temple, very tasty indeed
