Longhua Pagoda
Sightseeing
Directions

Step back in time at the Longhua Temple and Pagoda, the city's oldest and largest monastery. While you can't climb the iconic seven-story pagoda, the real magic lies within the active temple grounds, where the air is thick with incense and the sound of chanting monks. It's a truly atmospheric escape from the city buzz, offering a peaceful glimpse into Shanghai's spiritual heart.
