My son and I came upon the Zhen Ru Temple when we were meandering home from the Murphy Pool. We’ve been wandering South Philadelphia aimlessly for years, and we are still finding things and places we never knew existed.

Not in Chinatown? Odd…
South Philly has it all.
One thing I miss about living in Philadelphia is wandering the streets gazing at the different buildings and discovering new treasures. The Jersey shore is beautiful, but we miss living in the city even 34 years later.
Yep, there’s always something new or undiscovered, but right now I’d trade it for the Jersey Shore. It’s one of those unbearably hot summers in Philly.
Interesting, I didn’t know that, Joe.
There is still a vibrant Chinatown in Philadelphia, but it temples like these seem to be popping up all over the city.
