We took an overnight flight into China and did not get much sleep on the plane, so not much was accomplished on our first day in Beijing except sleeping and resting. On our second day, we went to visit the Beijing Confucian Temple and Imperial College Museum. The Confucian Temple was completed in 1306 and was the place where emperors paid their respects and offered sacrifices to Confucius until the early 1900s. We spent a few hours exploring the grounds and exhibits and really enjoyed learning about the life of Confucius, his teachings, and the effect Confucianism has had on China and the rest of the world.
