Celebrate the National Day by strolling and eating in Guiyang, and experience the charm of traditional culture at the cultural landmark Kongxuetang

Kongxuetang in the southern suburbs of Guiyang city, although its architectural form is not much different from that of a typical Confucian temple, it is very modern. It is adjacent to Dacheng Mountain in the east and overlooks the Huaxi River in the west. It overlooks the Huaxi Ten Mile River Beach Wetland Park, and is a cultural and academic exchange platform and training base in Guizhou Province. Compared to typical tourist spots, it is less crowded and a great place for off-peak travel. About it: Kongxuetang is not just a replica of an ancient building, but a group of them. The main architectural complex is composed of 'ritual axis, wind axis, and action axis'. The 'ritual axis' is the main axis of Kongxuetang, running from the Lingxing Gate to the Apricot Altar. The architectural highlights are not big, because they are too modern, and the long stairs do not even need to be climbed because there is an elevator going straight up. What to see: 1. The statue of Confucius teaching on the hundred-step ladder, this tall Confucius stone statue shows the wisdom of Confucian 'governing the country and pacifying the world'. 2. Climb up to the Dacheng Hall and overlook the lush greenery of the Huaxi Ten Mile River Beach Wetland Park. 3. The scattered buildings in the scenic area such as the Xiangxian Shrine, Yangming Pavilion, and Kuiwen Pavilion also have surprises. The Xiangxian Shrine enshrines the famous scholars of Guizhou throughout the ages, the Yangming Pavilion enshrines the Ming Dynasty Confucian scholar Wang Yangming, and the Kuiwen Pavilion houses Confucian cultural classics, and there are also various exhibitions held from time to time for visitors to visit. Tickets: Free admission. You need to register at the entrance, there are not many tourists, and there is no need to queue even on holidays. Address: Inside the Chinese Culture International Research Park in Huaxi District, Guiyang City. The scenic area has convenient parking, underground parking, and reasonable charges. Nearby attractions: Within 1 kilometer, there are Guizhou University, Huaxi Park, Huaxi National Urban Wetland Park and other urban green spaces. After experiencing the beauty of Guiyang's mountains and waters, coming here to experience traditional culture is also a unique experience.
