"Taiwan's Most Revered Historical Site: The Tainan Confucius Temple This historical site was Taiwan 's first academy, built in 1655, for the purpose of continuing classical Chinese teachings and training civil servants on the island, which was at political odds with Mainland China. The building is prized for it's beauty and obvious age. The grounds are a popular spot for elderly Taiwanese to practice Tai Chi in the early mornings and is a must see for any visitor to the city."
A wonderful historic site. Raw and no frills. A place of worship so be respectful. Just across the pedestrian walk to the main entrance on the opposite side of the street is a Shop selling home grown Taiwanese Cocoa products. The chocolate ice cream a a treat for chocolate lovers and refreshing in the Taiwan heat

A quaint little temple in Tainan. I'd enjoy it more if it wasn't so hot and humid that day. I was fortunate to listen to the in-house ensemble when they were rehearsing. Many thanks and much appreciated.

Not much to see or do inside the temple. Can be done in 30 min max. Nice pond to see some fish and squirrels running around.

Peaceful place, friendly staff, nice for morning or afternoon walks.
One part of the temple has an entrance fee of NTD 40.

Stunning temple - go to the inner part of the building complex (entrance fee but totally worth it!)

Beautiful gardens within the walls, free entrance. There is TWD40000 fee to go into the temple enclosure and see the many exhibits and halls dedicated to learning, prayers and festivals. Not a vast amount to see but still fascinating and well displayed.

Interesting for its history and museum, nice grounds but small.

OMG it’s beautiful. I only went here for awhile, but the weather really supported the whole scenery.
The temple itself is very nice and v suitable for cultural experience & exploration. But it’s just a little bit weird that we have to pay $30 for the inside that was not as beautiful as the outside part.
It is worth to visit if you’re in Tainan!
