Confucius Temple (temporarily closed) Introduction
The Confucius Temple located on the northern bank of Lotus Pond was completed in 1976. It is a modern imitation of Song Dynasty palace architecture, modeled after the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong. The temple features structures such as the Dacheng Gate, Dacheng Hall, Lingxing Gate, Li Gate, and Yilu, and inside there is a bronze relief wall depicting the achievements of Confucius, inscribed with the phrase "Ten-thousand Ren Palace Wall," praising Confucius's profound knowledge and virtue. There are over ten Confucius Temples across Taiwan, and the one next to Lotus Pond in Zuoying is grand and solemn, exuding an ancient charm. It even attracted the well-known television drama "The First Empress" for filming. The park is adorned with lush green trees and picturesque streams, beautifully reflecting the scenic beauty of the lake and mountains.
