Shanghai has developed from a small fishing village to a metropolis now. Only Beijing, Shenzhen and Guangzhou can compare with Shanghai in detail. This modern metropolis has also become a destination for many travelers.
If you go to Jing 'an Temple, you will find that this temple is different. It stands alone among high-rise buildings, as if it had gone through a thousand years of time and space to come to modern times. Out of tune with the surrounding environment. Many people are curious about why a city with precious land like Shanghai can still keep such a temple.
Actually, it's not surprising. I don't know if it's Shanghai, it's happening all over the country. In the past, there was a contradiction between urban development and the protection of ancient buildings. Many times, ancient buildings have to make concessions for development. But we have found a way to survive. Now many of these ancient buildings have become tourist attractions, bringing very good benefits to the city.
I believe that no place will do such a thing as killing the goose that lays the golden egg and throwing watermelon to pick up sesame seeds. They can bring more long-term benefits to Gai Lou than demolishing it. The trade-off in this respect is not difficult.
Everyone's awareness of cultural relics protection is getting higher and higher. If there is news that the temple is going to be demolished, the people of Shanghai will definitely stand up and resist at the first time, and the media will criticize it. No enterprise dares to take the world by storm. Antiquities protection is not limited to experts, and people pay more and more attention to the precious wealth left by their ancestors.
Generally speaking, Jing 'an Temple can bring more benefits to Shanghai. Under the wave of protecting ancient buildings, no one will go against the current.
