This Buddhist temple is on the move...literally.

Shanghai's Jade Buddha Temple was relocated 100 feet. It weighs 2,200 tons and includes three huge Buddhist statues.

The movement was a delicate operation, as custom-built rails lifted and moved the temple around 20 feet a day. The temple attracts about 2 million visitors a year, and the original location was no longer considered safe due to overcrowding.
