Meeting/Redemption Point

    • 中国上海市静安区安远路170号 邮政编码: 200061 | The meeting point is at the main entrance of Jade Buddha Temple, located on Anyuan Road in central Shanghai. The temple sits on a quiet street slightly removed from heavy traffic, creating a calm transition from the city into a more reflective atmosphere. Your local host (with a green bag) will be waiting outside the entrance gate at 2:00 pm, making it easy to recognize without entering the temple alone. The area is well connected by public transportation, with several bus routes and metro stations within walking distance. From this spot, the experience naturally begins with a gentle shift in pace, allowing you to step out of the city’s rush and into a slower, more attentive rhythm before the meditation journey starts.
