Introduction
The Anshun Confucian Temple is a must-see masterpiece for antique lovers, and its stone carvings are absolutely top-notch. After entering the ancient gate full of charm, the exquisitely carved stone archway has long been popular. The pairs of stone dragon columns at the Hou Dacheng Gate and Dacheng Gate are the "treasures of the town" in Anshun and have a history of more than 600 years. Especially, the two large pillars in front of the Dacheng Hall, which are carved out of whole stone blocks, have stone dragons circling in auspicious clouds, "hanging" on the pillars. The engineering difficulty and craftsmanship level are astounding. Opening hours 09:00-17:00 (all day)
