The Shezhuang Temple (simplified Chinese: 社しゃ庄しょう庙; traditional Chinese: 社しゃ莊そう廟びょう; pinyin: Shèzhuāng Miào) is a Taoist temple in the Jinqiao district of Shanghai, China. It was built at the end of the Ming dynasty in the 17th century in honour of a man named Jin San. A building of fine Chinese architecture, the temple was originally surrounded by an old village that was demolished in the late 2000s to make space for new developments.
