Tucked away in Shanghai's Songjiang District, Jiufeng Temple is an oasis of serenity with its ancient upturned eaves and thousand-year-old ginkgo trees. Follow the rhythm of morning bells to see prayer flags flutter, then savor their renowned seasonal vegetarian dishes. Don't miss the hidden trail behind the temple - a 10-minute hike rewards you with panoramic views of Sheshan, especially magical when mist transforms the landscape into a living ink painting during rainy seasons.
