Confucius Temple and Confucian Garden

Confucius Temple and Confucian Garden

The Sanshui Confucian Garden is the largest Confucius Temple in South China, located at the northeast corner of the Forest Park. Its design is a miniature version based on the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong. The entrance features the Lingxing Gate, leading sequentially to the Front Garden, Dacheng Gate, Apricot Altar, Dacheng Hall, and Chongsheng Shrine, with side corridors, Halls of Eminent Officials and Local Sages, as well as stele corridors. A large statue of Confucius is placed inside the Dacheng Hall, while the side halls feature statues of Confucius’ seventy-two disciples. At the Confucian Garden, visitors can also enjoy the "sound of metal and stone"—performances on bianzhong and bianqing. The site has added a traditional Chinese wedding venue, high-quality landscaping, and sculptures, along with a "Peach Blossom Garden" that complements Confucian culture. It offers visitors both an eye-opening experience and immersion in the profound traditions of Chinese heritage.
