Confucius Temple Pictures
Confucius is, by any standard, the greatest educationist, ideologist and philosopher in China. His contribution to the Chinese culture, ideology and society is incomparable. He was respected by Emperors as well as scholars and common people. This statue stands in front of the Gate of Great Accomplishment (Dachengmen) in the Temple of Confucius, Beijing.
The Temple of Confucius is located on Guozijian Street, inside Anding Gate. Sacrifices were made to Confucius, the greatest ideologist and educationist in ancient China, during the Yuan (1271-1368), Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties at this temple. Now, the temple houses the Capital Museum. This is the second largest Confucius temple, next only to the one in Qufu, Shandong Province.

We are visiting Bejing this year. What is the best way to travel from Bejing to Datong and how long does it take. Do you know if there are any organised trip (no combined trips).
Regards.
