Confucius Temple (Temporarily Closed) Introduction
The Confucius Temple located on the north shore of Lotus Pond was built in 1976. It is a modern building designed in the style of a Song Dynasty palace, modeled after the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong. Key features include the Dacheng Gate, Dacheng Hall, Lingxing Gate, Rite Gate, and the Yilu. Inside, there is a bronze relief that narrates Confucius's achievements, inscribed with the words "Ten Thousand Ren Palace Wall," praising Confucius's profound knowledge and morality. There are over ten Confucius Temples throughout Taiwan, and the one next to Lotus Pond in Zuoying is grand and solemn in appearance, with an antique charm. It even attracted the famous TV drama "The Last Empress" for filming. The park is filled with lush trees, and the beautiful scenery of small bridges and flowing water reflects the beauty of the lake and mountains.
