Kaohsiung Confucian Temple, Temple of Confucius in Zuoying District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
The temple complex spans 41,169 square meters and features the Dacheng Hall with spirit tablets dedicated to Confucius and notable scholars.
Built in 1684 during the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi Emperor reign, the temple underwent reconstruction in 1976 at its current location near Lotus Pond.
Following Ming Dynasty traditions, the temple maintains minimalist design without statues or images of Confucius, focusing on spiritual contemplation.
The temple is accessible through Zuoying High-Speed Rail Station or Xinzuoying Railway Station, with several bus stops located within walking distance.
The Chongsheng shrine remains the sole surviving structure from the original temple, positioned on the west side of Old City Elementary School.
