Worshipful and respectable venerable people are worth worshipping! The location is quiet, and you can bring your middle school students to worship when you arrive at the head house!

The reason why he came here is not because of the Confucian Temple, but for the desolate democratic heroes memorial park nearby. It is hard to imagine such a Confucian temple, which is located in the alleys of Miaoli Village, but the hinterland around the Confucian Temple is not small, and there are parking spaces, no matter whether you follow the rules or love to park randomly. I've been with the scale of the Confucius Temple of Confucius compared Taoyuan be a small point, but the overall maintenance of Chinese architecture very well suited as background pictures, the whole environment such as a park, as well as some art statue due now or seven in the morning So very quiet. In addition to the Confucian Temple, there are also Democracy Heroes Park and Yuheng Palace.

There is a memorial service to Confucius. On the left is a memorial monument (it was so ruined that no one has sorted it out), and there is a temple on it. There is a library next to the Confucian Temple, probably with ancient books, but I didn't go in to read it.

There are toilets and rest areas on the way to Taoyuan.

Interesting and cute little spot I like the peaceful atmosphere here There are tung flowers in bloom in May

The first time I saw the Xiangshan Confucian Temple, I felt very strange. Why is it completely different from the general Confucian temple? It was originally a temple to worship Emperor Guan. During the Japanese rule, the temple was destroyed to Sinicize. It was not allowed to worship Chinese gods. It had to be changed to a Confucius Temple and set up Xiangshan Academy before continuing to retain the temple. Now it is built on top of the Confucian Temple. Yuheng Palace restored the worship of Emperor Guan, and also added Jade Emperor and Guanyin, etc. In this way, Xiangshan Confucius Temple became the only special Confucian Temple. The temple has a library, drinking fountains, toilets, a public parking lot in Yuheng, and is connected to Yuheng Palace. It is a good place to read and keep yourself healthy.
