Wuwei Confucian Temple

Situated in the southeastern part of Wuwei,  the Confucian Temple of Wuwei is a complex of structures built in palace style in 1439 during the Ming Dynasty. It was expanded time and again in the following centuries and gradually became the "number one institute of learning in Longyou (areas west of the Liupan Mountains and east of the Yellow River in Gansu)." Facing south and covering an area of 1,500 square meters, the temple was where intellectuals pursued further studies and offered sacrifices to Confucius in ancient times.
