Kaohsiung City Temple of Confucius

So sorry it’s closed and looks abandoned. The ponds and gardens all overgrown. I wish in my next visit to Kaohsiung to visit the temple and enjoy its surroundings

Large temple for Confucius, his students, and many famous scholars in the Chinese history. The introduction of the traditional instrument and ceremonies is interesting. Great decoration on the ceilings and the walls. Using drums as the seats and tables in the cafeteria is creative.

Kaohsiung City Temple of Confucius is a peaceful and beautiful place to learn about Confucian philosophy and culture. The temple's architecture is impressive, with intricate carvings and a serene atmosphere. It’s a great spot for reflection, history, and a break from the city hustle. Definitely worth a visit for those interested in Taiwan's cultural heritage

Beautiful temple. Learnt a lot about Confucius, who people often quote 😀 Do not miss the cafe! Had an amazing tea cocktail in such a welcoming and picturesque atmosphere! Lovely staff 🙏🏼

We didn't plan to come here and stumbled upon it during our bike ride. wow. hidden in a fairly remote area and less visited by people lies this great palace. It happens to be the Confucius temple ! From far we realized it must be someone important. inside is grand and open. the details on the palace isn't as nice as the other palaces or temples I've been to but it has potential because of its size. the entrance fee is free.

Several buildings comprise this temple of Confucius, who was a Chinese philosopher and politician whose teachings and philosophy underpin East Asian culture and society across China and East Asia to this day. Exhibits are not many (musical instruments, carved tablets) but very well displayed and preserved. A small coffee shop for refreshments too. The attendant at the gate was exceptionally friendly- a great guy.

Enjoy every single moment to be there. It is so very beautiful. If I could I’ll definitely visit there again😁😁😁😁 It’s free and you can enjoy the view and you will learn something 😁😁😁
