Confucius Square is a Chinese-style public square in Samarkand, laid out with decorative arches, gazebos, and East Asian motifs. It is not one of the city's great Silk Road monuments, but it makes a curious contrast with the Timurid architecture that dominates most sightseeing routes.
Stop by if you are already nearby or want a short detour from the better-known mosques, madrasas, and mausoleums.
