introduce

Tengchong Confucian Temple, also known as Xuegong and Hongxue, is located at the southern end of the urban area during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a large-scale group of buildings. Tengchong Confucian Temple is the only relatively well-preserved school palace in Baoshan area, and it is the only ancient building complex left over from the anti-Japanese war in Tengchong City in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
