CONFUCIUS TEMPLE
This temple, originally built in 1285 and renovated many times since, is one of the largest in the country
Originally built in 1285 under the Yuan dynasty and renovated many times since, this temple to Confucius is the second largest in the country after Qufu. Nestling in the heart of a vast park dotted with ponds, century-old cypress trees and pavilions, it embodies Yunnan's tradition of learning. The ensemble impresses with its serenity and the symmetrical beauty of its classical architecture. Once a place of imperial examination, it boasts rich decorations, engraved steles and a majestic altar dedicated to the Master. An interesting visit.
