Dongbaoxing Road Gurdwara

Dongbaoxing Road Gurdwara, Sikh temple in Hongkou, China

The Dongbaoxing Road Gurdwara is a Sikh temple in Shanghai featuring red brick walls and arched doorways. The building shapes the streetscape of Hongkou with its religious architecture and currently serves as residential and community health clinic space.

The gurdwara's foundation stone was laid on 11 August 1907 on land allotted by the Shanghai Municipal Council, with public works architect R. C. Turner assisting; it opened in July 1908, when hundreds of Sikh policemen and watchmen joined a procession from the Louza police station carrying the Guru Granth Sahib. Built for over 100 Sikh patrolmen and watchmen of the International Settlement at a cost of 11,200 taels, it closed in 1962 and later housed a kindergarten and a community health centre.

Local Chinese called it Yindu Miao, "Indian temple", and its wall bore the words "Sikh Temple Shanghai" during the Jaito Morcha. Its granthis, hired from India, settled disputes within the Sikh community and bought ghee with a special Shanghai Police fund. In August 1909 Nidhan Singh married a Chinese woman from Pudong here; both were baptised, she as Gursharan Kaur, in an Amrit Sanchar, followed by an Anand Karaj.

The former temple building can be viewed from outside but is privately used as residential and clinic space. Visitors should treat the location respectfully and check beforehand if tours or access are possible.

The gurdwara's Chinese name was Yindu Miao (印度庙), "Indian temple". Its wall carried the words "Sikh Temple Shanghai" during the Jaito Morcha period. The building stood one block west of North Sichuan Road, beside the railway tracks to Woosung.
