Confucius Temple

CONFUCIUS TEMPLE, CHINA

The Confucius Temple is located in the Qinhuai District, at the heart of Nanjing. It was the largest ancient imperial exam centre in China, where government officials were selected. The renovation of the Confucius Temple aimed to build the first "National Model Pedestrian Street". The renovation of the Confucius Temple considered natural resources, including designing visitor routes and retelling dug-up stories, which brings a modern tour experience to the old neighborhood. The building façade style of the entire block has been restored based on the traditional style, with some moderate innovation, in order to preserve its cultural value and ensure an environment that works for its users.
