Hǎifēng

Haifeng lies in eastern Guangdong between the Lianhua Mountains and the South China Sea. Its county town served a district of coast and inland valleys, linked to neighbouring markets by roads and waterways. In 1379, during the early Ming, the county established a Confucian school and temple. Its halls and ceremonial gates gave local students and officials a place for instruction and for rites honouring Confucius.
