It feels very good. I will come back more than ten years later. There are some scenery to remember, and some scenery has been forgotten. The baby came to Confucius' hometown and recited the words and remembered the statement, like a serious learning child.
A scenic spot with a lot of historical heritage, the Confucian Temple and the Confucian Forest must ask a tour guide to explain, otherwise you can't understand, the Confucian Mansion is the residence of the Anglican in the past dynasties, you can simply take a look.
Scholars, ancient heritage! Coopers, stone monuments, halls, dragon pillars... everywhere reflect the traces of saints. Secluded pavilion, pious tourists, exquisite buildings, speechless thoughts~~~
Come to Qufu during the May Day holiday, there is a city opening ceremony at 7:30 in the morning (non-holidays should be only available at 8 o'clock), and follow the ceremony to enter the city to check the ticket. There are too many people. Sankong Scenic Area is a place where every Chinese should come. The traditional cultural atmosphere here is strong and has continued its history for more than 2,000 years. It is not easy, because the emperors of all dynasties attach great importance to Confucian culture. Therefore, Kong family can safely pass through one dynasties and another, cultural relics and culture can continue.
The three-hole scenic spot (Confucius Temple Confucius Mansion Confucius Forest), is really shocking. As soon as I entered the Confucius Temple, I didn't know how many gates I walked through. It felt like other places were like historical deserts. A tree was more than 1,000 or even 2000 years of history. Layers of time and space are piled with countless traces of saints and times.
Qufu is famous for its rich cultural relics, including the Confucius Temple, the Confucius Mansion and the Confucius Forest. These three places, collectively known as the "three holes", are important cultural sites to commemorate Confucius and are also a world cultural heritage. Every year, a large number of tourists come to visit and learn to experience the essence of Confucian culture. Qufu is not only a famous historical and cultural city, but also constantly advancing the modernization process. The meetings and activities held by the municipal government reflect the development and planning of the city in economic, social and cultural aspects.
The Ctrip VIP room next to the south gate ticket hall of the Confucius Temple is diagonally opposite the Wanxuan Palace wall, which is convenient to find. The guide Meng explained very professionally, equipped with wireless headphones, visited the Confucius Temple and the Confucius Mansion, which is a thousand-year-old holy place, and the whole journey is about 2 hours. Did not go to Konglin is the Kong family cemetery, the road has to take a car feel a bit can not be. The Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion are definitely worth it!
