The Confucius Temple (Fuzimiao) and Qinhuai River area is the historical and cultural heart of Nanjing. The Confucius Temple, first built in 1034, is dedicated to Confucius and was the center of imperial examinations in ancient times. The Qinhuai River waterfront is lined with Ming and Qing-style buildings housing restaurants, shops, and tea houses. At night, the area is illuminated by lanterns, and visitors can take a painted boat cruise along the river, experiencing the romantic atmosphere celebrated in countless Chinese poems.
