The Nanjing Fuzimiao temple complex stretches along the Qinhuai River, featuring multiple halls, pavilions, and examination chambers within its expansive grounds.
Established in 384 CE during the Jin Dynasty, the temple served as China's first national learning institution and underwent several reconstructions, including a major rebuild in 1034.
The Dacheng Hall contains China's largest statue of Confucius, accompanied by 38 detailed panels depicting his life through jade, gold, and silver artworks.
The temple complex opens daily from 8:00 to 21:00, with entrance fees of CNY 15 for Dacheng Hall or CNY 40 for access to all four temple attractions.
