The crowd was manageable on a Thursday morning visit. The path through the temple site leads to this temple considered one the three well known Chinese ancient temples. The temple had been revenovated through the years. The main attraction was the stone columns with dragon carvings outside the temple. It is a lost art, modern artisans have not figured out how it was done.

The Dacheng Hall is the main temple inside the Confucius Temple complex and can't be visited separately. You'll either need to buy the '3 Kong' ticket or the single ticket just for the Confucius Temple. Alas, although Dacheng Hall is the highlight of the complex, the doors are open, yet you cannot enter. Thus you'll be crammed in, jockeying for position with 00's of other visitors, all jamming their cameras through the doorway trying to get some sort of shot of the temple inside. Keep trying. It's worth seeing.
