- Temple of Confucius and Guozijian Museum - Enjoy a leisurely walk along a charming, tranquil street and uncover the wonders of the Temple of Confucius and the Imperial College (Guozijian Museum). Imagine this: in the past, an emperor would impart ancient wisdom to thousands of enthusiastic students, professors, and officials—all gathered annually in a magnificent ritual. Constructed in 1306 by Kublai Khan’s grandson, this academy was once the pinnacle of education during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. To enhance the experience, enjoy a vibrant dance performance that revives these ancient traditions (though the show may be canceled if the weather is unfavorable).
