K艒shi-by艒 & Historical Museum of China

Nagasaki

LoginSave

The jauntily painted K艒shi-by艒 shrine claims to be the only Confucian shrine built by and for Chinese outside China, and the statues of sages in its courtyard certainly make you feel as though you've journeyed across the sea. The original 1893 building was destroyed by fire following the atomic-bomb explosion.

Behind the shrine, a museum of Chinese art spans jade artefacts, Neolithic archaeological finds, terracotta warriors and Qing-dynasty porcelain. There's also a large gift shop with trinkets from classy to kitschy.

  • NAGASAKI, NAGASAKI-KEN, JAPAN - 2010/07/20: The former Nagasaki International club built in 1903. Dejima, literally "protruding island", was a small island in the bay of Nagasaki that was a Dutch trading post during Japan's self-imposed isolation of the Edo period from 1641 until 1853. Here Dutch traders were stationed, keeping a small window on the outside world plus trade with the rest of the world..Since the closing of the Dutch East India Company's trading post in 1857, the island has been surrounded by reclaimed land and merged into Nagasaki. The island was designated a national historical site in 1922. Today, Dejima is a work in progress with the long-term plan to fully restore its characteristic fan-shaped form and all the embankment walls.. (Photo by John S Lander/LightRocket via Getty Images)
