Zhengzhou Citywalk, the free Confucian Temple is definitely not to be missed

Coming to Zhengzhou Citywalk, the Zhengzhou Confucian Temple is definitely a must-see. It is the oldest, largest, and most extensive ancient architectural complex in Zhengzhou with a recorded history, dating back over 2000 years.

🏫 Architectural Features: The Lingxing Gate is a common structure in the Confucian Temple, usually a wooden or stone archway-style building. The Dacheng Hall is built using the ancient 'Xieshan' architectural style, with layered eaves and soaring ridges, complemented by dragon head components and exquisite painted patterns.

⛩️ Main Attractions: The main structures of the Confucian Temple include the Dacheng Hall, Lingxing Gate, Zunjing Pavilion, Hanjing Well Pavilion, and the Stele Corridor. Among them, the Dacheng Hall is the most important main building of the entire Confucian Temple and is the only remaining building from the late Qing Dynasty. The Zunjing Pavilion is used to store important Confucian classics and various historical books, and it is also the tallest building in the entire Confucian Temple.

When I arrived, it was snowing heavily, making it a great place for photography. There are also many local delicacies near the Zhengzhou Confucian Temple, which are worth trying while you're here.
