This temple complex features beautifully arranged courtyards and traditional pavilions designed to facilitate the study of Confucianism and celebrate its teachings. Visitors can explore the intricate stone tablets and carvings while enjoying the peaceful setting, especially vibrant during the spring months when cherry blossoms fill the grounds. The nearby Imperial College serves as an additional attraction, making this area rich in cultural history.
