Originally constructed at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, this Confucian Temple once served as the headquarters for the legendary Shanghai Small Sword Society. Restored in 1999 as part of Confucius' 2,550th birthday celebrations, the temple offers visitors a wealth of interesting sections like the Lingxin Doorway, the stone terrace in front of the Gong Hall, and the Fangsheng Pond. All renovation work was carried out to reflect the architectural styles of the Ming and Qing dynasties. There is a book fair in the temple every Sunday morning.
