Highlights
Step back into imperial China with a visit to the Temple of Confucius and the Imperial College (Guozijian)—two of Beijing’s most historically rich and culturally significant sites. Located just a short stroll from the famed Lama Temple, these twin landmarks once served as the spiritual and educational heart of the Chinese empire. The Confucius Temple, Beijing’s second largest of its kind, honors the great philosopher with serene courtyards and ancient stone steles engraved with the names of successful imperial exam scholars.
Next door, the Imperial College (Guozijian) was the highest educational institution in imperial China, where top scholars studied Confucian classics and prepared for civil service.
