I went to Shanghai a few months ago and I wanted to create some posts about the experience. The first day we were day we had a guided tour into Shanghai. Our first spot (the photo above) was the Shanghai Museum. This was a very busy museum and inside was so beautiful and they had so many different rooms full of history. It was really amazing and our tour guide was full of lots of information. I did this tour because I really didn't know anything about Shanghai besides the new Disney Park was there. I really love learning about the difference in culture and understanding their history of their city.
The next stop he took us to was a Buddhist temple. Oh my goodness it was beautiful and amazing to see all the people coming into pray to the different gods. I also think it was amazing to see different tour groups from all over the world coming into here and being peaceful and respectful of the religion. I really got a full understand of Buddhism and I have to say it is an amazing belief. I understand why so many people turn to it and a lot of it reminded me of greek mythology and the force from Star Wars.
As you can see inside each temple there were different gods and underneath there were pillows for people to bow and pray in front of them. They also have tables to place gifts. These gifts can be such a wide range and the biggest one I saw was fruit. I have a video on my youtube channel of the full tour which is this video right below. But if you are interested in my whole trip before I post about it on here you can watch it all on my youtube channel www.youtube.com/thejessyjen
