Confucius Temple (temporarily closed) Introduction
The Confucius Temple located on the northern shore of Lotus Pond was built in 1976 and is a modern imitation of the Song dynasty palace-style architecture. It is modeled after the Song dynasty style of the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong, featuring structures such as the Dacheng Gate, Dacheng Hall, Lingxing Gate, Ritual Gate, and Yilu. Inside, there is a bronze relief depicting the deeds of Confucius, with the characters "Wanren Palace Wall" inscribed, praising Confucius's profound knowledge and morality. There are more than ten Confucius Temples across Taiwan, and the one next to Lotus Pond in Zuoying has a majestic and solemn appearance, filled with a sense of ancient charm. It even attracted the well-known television drama "The Legendary Woman Emperor" for filming. The park is adorned with lush greenery and beautiful scenes of bridges and flowing water, harmonizing with the scenic beauty of the lake and mountains.
