Confucius Temple Introduction
The origin of the Taoyuan Confucius Temple can be traced back to the 74th year of the Republic of China (1985), when local figures such as Shih Wan-Chuan and Jian Qi-Biao initiated the construction of the temple to promote Confucian teachings that represent Eastern culture and to serve as a place for worshiping Confucius. Completed in the 78th year of the Republic of China (1989) on Huto Mountain, it is the last official Confucius Temple established in Taiwan. The uniqueness of the Taoyuan Confucius Temple lies in the establishment of a standing statue of Confucius, rather than just the usual tablet found in other Confucius Temples, making it a place of scenic value.
