The Chuxiong Confucian Temple lies in the centre of the old town of Lucheng. It was first built in the Ming dynasty, and the surviving buildings, including the Hall of Great Perfection and the Pavilion of Revered Scriptures, were rebuilt in the Qing dynasty. The bracket sets and roof detailing of the Hall of Great Perfection are elaborate, and the temple is a representative example of Confucian architecture in central Yunnan. It is a protected cultural heritage site. Ancient trees shade the courtyard, and the atmosphere is calm, making it a good place to study architectural details and take photos. The temple is modest in size, and a visit takes about 40 minutes. It can be combined with the Prefecture Museum and the Wild Goose Pagoda. Opening hours and admission fees are listed on site.
