]]> One of the great things about Shanghai, particularly for first-time visitors, is the sheer size of the city. A short trip on the metro can take you to a completely new neighborhood, and into a different world. A great way to see these neighborhoods is to visit some of the many temples in the city. Blend in with the locals and smell the incense of their tributes. These impressive temples are must-see sites, each in a different area of Shanghai.

Longhua Temple & Pagoda (Longhua Si)

This is the oldest and biggest temple in the city and includes a pagoda, several prayer halls, and the Buddhist Texts Library, where the magnificent collection of 500 golden statues of arhats is found.

Jade Buddha Temple (Yufo Si)

Probably the most famous of the three, home to the renowned Sitting Jade Buddha and Reclining Jade Buddha. Inside this temple is also a great little teahouse where you can witness a traditional tea-making performance.

Temple of the Town Gods (Chenghuang Miao)

Located in the fantastic Yuyuan Mart, this temple is dedicated to the city gods of Shanghai. Combine the visit with a tour of the fantastical Yu Garden and the famous Huxinting Teahouse.

]]> The tradition of tea drinking is an important part of Turkish culture. For centuries, tea has been the most commonly consumed hot drink in Turkey. It is served in a small tulip shaped glass on a small saucer and it should be crystal clear, deep mahogany color. You can add sugar cubes to your hot drink but milk is a huge no-no.

It can be drunk anywhere and anytime. However, in bigger cities like Istanbul, people often meet in tea gardens, where the ritual of tea drinking is done. We present to you the most popular tea gardens in Turkey’s capital.

Bebek Kahve

Bebek Kahve is one of Istanbul’s epic locations where you can enjoy the beautiful Bosphorus while drinking your Turkish black tea. Not only the drinks or the beautiful view will amaze you, but the delicious food menu, as well.

Çengelköy Çinaraltı

Open 24/7 this tea garden, also located on the bank of the river Bosphorus, is undoubtedly famous as the set for many Turkish soap operas. Who knows, maybe you will get lucky and have a cup of tea with your favorite Turkish actor or actress.

Pierre Loti

The Pierre Loti tea garden offers the most beautiful panoramic view of Istanbul. This historic place was named after a French novelist and sailor Louis Marie Julien Viaud, known for his pseudonym Pierre Loti. Every time he came to Istanbul, he would sit on the hill, drunk his Turkish coffee and enjoyed the picturesque view of the capital, in which he was madly in love.
