The temple has very ancient characteristics and is preserved well by the authorities. You can wonder around the park and empty spaces and might enocunter even an astrologer. The place is much less crowded than the Forbidden city and provides a feel of the ancient times. I liked the temple and the entire surroundings and the place gives a feeling of peace.

I agree, the Confucius Temple is one of the lesser known gems in Beijing. I put it in the same category as Yuan Ming Yuan Park and Prince Gong's Mansion -- Off the big-ticket tourist trail, less crowded, and very cool.
