Considering the Phoenix Palace in Nanjing?

Confucius Temple by Stevo_Jess
Nothing much but as a tourist, we are supposed to see everything. So we just pay the cheap entrance fee (Think it is RMB5) and pay about RMB 10 to get some incense to pray to Confucius for luck and prosperity ( We have yet to win the lottery !)
Confucius for those who are not familiar with is the China equivalent of Aristrotle. He is credited with the Confucius school of thoughts (I like to call it confusion school of thoughts).
You will not learn much about him inside the but I guess the temple was built more for spiritual reasons.
