Confucius Temple

A grand complex of monuments and buildings in the hometown of the great philosopher and educator.

Reviewed By Wakhoworld - Sydney, Australia

This temple complex has been on my bucket list for some time. A wonderful serene place walking through a series of Gates and Pagodas to the Dacheng Palace where the locals make offering to Confucius. If your over 60 years ask for the 50% seniors discount, if your over 70 years it's FREE. This applies to everyone not just the Chinese. I got there early and avoided the crowds. It was also minus 5 degrees C. which was another factor affecting crowd numbers.
