Joya Hotel Nanjing Confucius Temple
Nanjing, China · Joya Hotel · Accessible Luxury
Joya Hotel stands inside Nanjing's Fuzimiao district on the north bank of the Qinhuai River, overlooking the Confucius Temple, first raised around 1034 CE in the Song dynasty as a centre of Confucian worship and imperial study. Japanese forces burned the temple in 1937, and local authorities rebuilt it in the mid-1980s in Ming and Qing style, so the lanterns and boats of the district are a rebuilt echo of the older city.

History
The Joya Hotel Nanjing Confucius Temple sits in the Fuzimiao (Confucius Temple) district on the north bank of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing's Qinhuai District, one of the city's most storied cultural and commercial quarters. The neighbouring Nanjing Confucius Temple was first established during the Song dynasty around 1034 CE as a place of Confucian worship and imperial learning; repeatedly damaged over the centuries — most severely burned during the 1937 Japanese assault — the temple complex was rebuilt by local authorities in the mid-1980s in Ming–Qing architectural style, anchoring the lively scenic area the hotel now overlooks.
