Guozijian Street

2022-11-02

Walk out of Wudaoying Hutong and turn into Guozijian Street from Andingmennei Street, which is the only street in Beijing that retains four pagodas. It was named "Chengxian Street" in the Qing Dynasty and is also known as Guozijian Hutong because the Confucius Temple and Guozijian were located here.

The Confucius Temple and Guozijian Museum is located at No. 15 Guozijian Street. The Confucius Temple and the Guozijian were founded in the Yuan Dynasty and were used as places of worship for Confucius by the emperor and as the highest school of learning in the country, respectively, according to the ancient system of ``left and right ''. Both groups of buildings were built along a central axis, symmetrical left and right, forming a set of complete, magnificent and magnificent ancient architectures.

The autumn sunlight spilling through the leaves on the red walls and the surrounding gatehouses makes you want to slow down and enjoy this moment of tranquility.

Address: Guozijian Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing
