Summer Retreat in Yuxi: Wenmiao Park

Yuxi Wenmiao (Confucian Temple) was originally built in the 48th year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1709 AD) and was renovated in 2005. It consists of Zhuangyuan Bridge, Yangchi, Dacheng Gate, Confucius Statue, Lingxing Gate, Dacheng Hall, side corridors, and Wenxing Pavilion. Dacheng Hall and Wenxing Pavilion are Qing Dynasty buildings, while the rest were rebuilt in 2005. Dacheng Hall faces east to west, with a single-eave hip roof. The hall is 21.70 meters wide and 9.10 meters deep. Wenxing Pavilion also faces east to west, with a height of 16.8 meters, a platform height of 0.4 meters, a width of 9.6 meters, and a depth of 9 meters. It is a three-story wooden structure with a four-cornered pointed roof. The exterior walls are embedded with Qing Dynasty inscriptions, including: 'Reconstruction of the Wenmiao in Xinxing Prefecture', 'Public Use of the New Pavilion's Surplus Land', and 'Xinxing Prefecture School Land'. 📍Detailed Address: Wenmiao Park, Xiaomiao Street, Hongta District 🕙Opening Hours: 24 hours, 365 days 🚉Transportation Guide: Take bus routes 1, 3, 13, or 26 to Xiaomiao Street ⏳Visiting Time: 10-20 minutes 💰Ticket Price: Free ❤Recommended Reason: The Wenmiao is a spiritual fortress of a city. Since you're here, why not pay respects to Confucius and soak up some scholarly atmosphere. 🌟Highlight: A very tiny Wenmiao Park In July 2024, I came to Yuxi. I have 2 months, and I want to check in at all the places in Hongta District that can be reached by bus. Wenmiao Park is small and next to Xiaomiao Food Street, so it's easy to miss. I walked over, of course, and didn't just pass by. Next to it is Yuchun Garden Snack Shop, where you should also check in for their Paoluda!
