Almost 600 years old, it is a most important Taoist temple in Shanghai, built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Made up of nine halls that feature giant statues of immortals, the temple sees a steady stream of worshippers daily praying for fortune and peace and is always enveloped in blue incense smoke. Enshrined inside are the City God Qin Yubo and General Huoguang, and the temple is staffed by resident Taoist priests. Despite its many visitors the shrine exudes an air of peace and tranquility.
