Confucius Temple's current buildings date from the late 19th century, although the temple's history go back to the 11th century.











































The information board notes these are the only stone tablets from the Yuan Dynasty that have survived to today. That would make them some 700 years old. Yet the writing is still legible.





The exit is at the back of the temple, and another shopping street with traditional architecture follows. Some of the paintings look quite nice though.
