About Jilin Confucius Temple
The Panchi pool and Zhuangyuan Bridge lead through ritual gates towards the eleven-bay Dacheng Hall, with Chongsheng Hall beyond. The scale of the main hall contrasts with the smaller side buildings once associated with preparation and ceremony. An exhibition on imperial examinations connects these architectural spaces with the educational system they served.
What to look for
- The Panchi pool, Zhuangyuan Bridge and successive ceremonial gates.
- Dacheng Hall's broad eleven-bay front and the interpretation of the imperial examination system.
The surrounding area
A different city from Changchun, with a Songhua riverfront and weather-dependent winter rime.
