    I visited the Confucius Temple right after the Lama Temple, and I loved it! If you read a little bit about Confuscious and his role and impact in Chinese culture before you go, you'll find this place to be a really cool window into Confucius philosophy.

    Great place to visit, really impressive to see all the buildings, art and the temple is just great. Don't miss the gigantic 18m tall statue of buddha, just impressive.
