    This temple is significantly more simple and less decorated than other temples such as Longshan Temple, Baoan Temple, the Xiahai City God Temple. This is due to the fact this particular temple is based on the philosophy of Confucius which takes a simpler view of life. Not only is the temple dedicated to Confucius and his philosophy, it is also dedicated to several of his disciples/students who made substantial contributions to Confucianism.

    The temple is free admission and while it was sparsely crowded when I visited, it was during the early morning. I would suggest trying to visit and getting pictures in the morning before things start to pick up.

    I must say, the breakfast at the MudanHouse B&B is all I have read about. It was prepared by "Auntie" with great care from fresh products of the day. This morning it was fried egg pancakes with seasonal fruits. Yummy! Breakfast is served family style where all guest share the meal at the large family table. Really nice atmosphere.

    It is my last day in Taipei and there were still some major sites that I wanted to check off my list.

    My first stop was to see the Confucius Temple. When I visited yesterday, it was closed. The temple is quite beautiful but much more simplistic and nowhere near as decorative as Longshan or Baoan Temple. Unlike the previous temples which …
