If you take the subway, enter the scenic area from Exit 3 of Wenmiao Street. Do not go from Nanhai Road in the north, you have to go around a big circle. Next to the statue of Confucius is the East and West Official Hall, where you can learn a lot about sacrificial knowledge. Behind it is the Dacheng Gate. After passing the gate, you can see the Dacheng Hall. The Dacheng Hall is the main hall of the Confucius Temple and the core part of the entire Confucius Temple. In addition, there is also a blank stele here, which has various explanations for its cause. You can see it for yourself.
