Confucius Temple
Confucius Temple-April 2024
Apr 19, 2025

  Behind an impressive gate emblazoned with Chinese chu nho characters that simply translate as 'Confucius Temple', this magnificent temple to the west of all the action is a colourful explosion of ceramic tiles. Look out for the spirit wall across the bridge that depicts a ky lan, a mythical chimerical creature often depicted in Confucian temples. At the rear is an effigy of Confucius (Khong Tu), venerated in the 'Great Achievement Hall'.

  With a dragon at each corner, the memorial pillar directly across the street overlooks a lotus-flower filled pond.
