The Jade Buddha Temple (Yufo Chansi Temple) Shanghai, is a renowned Buddhist temple famous for two exquisite jade Buddha statues imported from Burma by by a Chinese Buddhist monk named Huigen, along with many other cultural relics. Built in 1882 during the Qing Dynasty, the temple's architecture reflects the classic Song Dynasty style with grand halls, intricate carvings, and serene courtyards.

The two main attractions are the Sitting Buddha, a 1.95-meter-tall statue carved from white jade, depicting the Buddha in a meditative pose, and the smaller Reclining Buddha, which shows the Buddha at the moment of his parinirvana (passing into nirvana). The temple is not only a place of worship for pilgrims, a peaceful retreat from the bustling city for locals, but also a cultural landmark and an insight into Chinese Buddhist traditions and art for visitors.
