1686-Jing 'an Temple. Jing 'an Temple, located at Nanjing West Road 1686, is one of the famous ancient temples in Shanghai, formerly known as Chongyuan Temple and Chongyun Temple. According to legend, Jing 'an Temple was built during the Chiwu period of Sun Wu in the Three Kingdoms, and was originally named Hudu Chongxuan Temple. In the first year of Song Dazhong, Xiangfu went to Jing 'an Temple to worship Buddha and learn from it.

(1008), renamed Jing 'an Temple. In the ninth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (12 16), the temple was moved from Wusong River to Lupujing River (now Nanjing West Road 1686). It has a history of nearly 780 years since Shanghai was built. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, temples had become the present scale. In the thirty-fourth year of the Republic of China (1945), the calligrapher Deng Sanmu inscribed "Jing 'an Ancient Temple", which is still in use today. By the 1930s, Jing 'an Temple had begun to take shape, and now it has developed into one of the important commercial centers in Shanghai.

From 1997 to 1 year, Jing 'an Temple was rebuilt and expanded on the basis of restoring its original appearance. In addition to restoring the main buildings such as Chiwu Mountain Gate, Doulv Hall, Daxiong Hall, Tongyuan Hall, Zhen Zhen Temple, Cultural Relics Building, Gongde Hall, Su Zhai Department, Sengliao, etc., Dharma Hall, Tibetan Scripture Building and Buddhist Library will also be built to restore the "Eight Scenes of Jing 'an". Shanghai Peace Hotel was opened on 19 19, renovated on 1999 10, and officially listed as a five-star hotel in May 2000. * * * There are two buildings, one is the main building with a height of 1 1, and the other is the south building with a height of 6 floors. * * * has 273 rooms, of which the standard room covers an area of about 30 square meters. Located on the Bund and Nanjing Road, the environment is very good, echoing the Oriental Pearl opposite. The roof garden can see the night view of the Bund 360 degrees. Due to historical reasons, most of the buildings on the Bund are owned by foreign businessmen, but China's official and non-governmental forces have also made great efforts to penetrate. The competition between China and foreign countries is fierce. After the First World War, China, as a victorious country, recovered the former site of the German Central Hall (next to the Sassoon Building) on 1934, and after the demolition, the Bank of China obtained the construction right. In order to show off, the Kuomintang Bank of China planned to build the 34-story bank building, which was the tallest in the Far East at that time, and was contracted by Tao Guiji, a first-class builder in Shanghai at that time. When the design and everything were ready, even the 34-story foundation was laid. Just before the ground was broken, Sassoon came out to obstruct and shouted: This is a British concession, and the height of the building next to me must not exceed the spire of the building. The Ministry of Industry in the Concession also colluded with each other, saying that China people could not afford to build 34 floors and refused to issue licenses. So the Kuomintang Bank of China started the lawsuit against Sassoon. At that time, according to the provisions of the Tianjin Treaty, the China government had no right to adjudicate any lawsuit involving British nationals. It is said that this "lawsuit" has been hitting London. As a result, the Kuomintang Bank of China lost the case. At that time, the Jewish owner of Sassoon Building next door kicked it to the18th floor, just 30 cm lower than the 77-meter Sassoon Building, on the grounds that the design and construction ability of China people was insufficient, which would affect the foundation of the surrounding buildings. Peace Hotel was built in 1929, formerly known as Hua Mao Hotel. It is a Gothic building of Chicago School, 77 meters high, with 12 floors. Hua Mao Hotel was founded by Alice, a wealthy British Jew at that time. Victor. Built by Sassoon, the outer wall is made of granite and enters through the rotating hall door. The floor of the lobby is paved with ivory Italian marble, and the top bronze carved chandelier is luxurious and elegant, which has the reputation of "the first building in the Far East".
