Confucius' Tomb and Temples

A Confucian temple located in Taipei. Confucianism is largely debated on whether or not it is a religion or philosophy. Regardless, avid followers built hundreds and hundreds of temples to better follow their leader.















Another Confucian temple located on a hill in Shanghai. Areas off of the beaten path are popular locations for such temples because meditation and self-reflecting are easier to do in a beautiful/quiet/natural location.
