Confucius Temple (temporarily closed) Introduction
The Confucius Temple, located on the northern shore of Lianchi Tan, was completed in 1976. It is a new-style imitation of Song Dynasty palace architecture, modeled after the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong, featuring structures such as the Dacheng Gate, Dacheng Hall, Lingxing Gate, Li Gate, and Yilu. Inside, there is a bronze relief describing Confucius' achievements, inscribed with the phrase "Wanren Palace Wall," which praises Confucius' profound knowledge and morality. There are over ten Confucius Temples throughout Taiwan, and the one beside Lianchi Tan in Zuoying boasts a majestic and solemn appearance, infused with an ancient charm. It also attracted the famous television drama "The Empress of China" for filming. The park is adorned with lush trees and beautiful scenery of small bridges and flowing water, harmonizing with the beauty of the lake and mountains.
