Here's a tip: Be sure to visit the Confucian Temple before leaving Ganzhou.

- If you're tired of the crowded, popular attractions in Ganzhou, why not come to the lesser-known Confucian Temple and experience a cultural journey through thousands of years? 📜 Historical and Architectural Highlights - The Best Confucian Temple in Jiangxi: Built in the Song Dynasty, most of the existing buildings were constructed during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. It is not only a place to worship Confucius, but also served as the school of Ganxian County. Covering an area of 7,000m², it is the largest and highest-level ancient county school site in the province. - Unique Colored Porcelain Roof: The Dacheng Hall is covered with yellow and green glazed tiles, which shine in the sun. This is the only example of its kind in the country. The blue and white porcelain kiss beasts and carved wooden arches on the roof ridge show even more ingenuity. - The Mystery of the "Forbidden City Style" Door Nails: Each door of the Dacheng Gate has 9x9 or 81 nails (the same as the Forbidden City), far more than the Confucius Temple in Qufu. 📸 Great for Taking Pictures: With its red walls and flying tiles, the Confucian Temple is a great place to take photos. Standing in front of the Dacheng Gate, wearing ancient costumes, and using the quaint architecture as a backdrop, you'll be fully immersed in the atmosphere of the imperial court. Or have a friend stand on the other side of the arch and zoom in to capture the full artistic effect. The double dragon sculptures and large incense burner in the Dacheng Hall are also excellent photo spots, and side or upward shots look great. 🎈 Super Effective for Academic Success: Many students and parents come here to worship Confucius and the sages before the college entrance examination and senior high school entrance examination, praying for good results and admission to their ideal schools. You may also want to come and soak up the scholarly atmosphere of the Confucian Temple. 📍 Address: Southeast of the old city of Ganzhou, north side of the eastern section of Houde Road 🚌 Transportation: You can take a bus or taxi to get there from the city. 🎫 Tickets: Free admission A visit to the Ganzhou Confucian Temple usually takes 1–2 hours. You can combine it with other attractions such as the Fushou Ditch Museum and the Wei Family Courtyard for an in-depth Ganzhou city walk. Come to the Ganzhou Confucian Temple to experience the historical charm and cultural heritage, and enjoy an unforgettable travel experience.
