Confucian Temple
The Confucian Temple, obviously by virtue of its name, is dedicated to the life of Confucius, one of China's greatest sages. Pagodas frame a goldfish pond blanketed with water lilies creating the quintessential Chinese setting usually found in travel brochures and complimentary airline magazines. When I visited in March 2009 the temple was undergoing refurbishment.
