Don't be fooled into going to Qufu, I didn't expect Confucius' hometown to be like this!

I visited Qufu ten years ago, and I didn't expect to have the opportunity to revisit my hometown ten years later. In addition to the must-see three holes in Qufu, you also need to experience the authentic food of Qufu, which tastes super good! 1、Confucius Temple South end of Shendao Road Opening hours: 8:30-17:00 Ticket: 80 yuan, three-hole ticket 140 yuan Recommended tour time: 1 hour Recommended reason: Among the three holes, the Confucius Temple is the most worth visiting. It is a place where students of all dynasties worship. The Confucius Temple is one of the four major cultural temples in China. The trees here have a history of thousands of years, and the towering trees inside are very shady. The ancient buildings are mostly in Ming and Qing styles, where you can see the stele of Confucius' achievements and the apricot altar where he taught. 2、Kong Mansion Gulou North Street, Lucheng Street Opening hours: 8:30-16:30 Ticket: 60 yuan, three-hole ticket 140 yuan Recommended tour time: 1 hour Recommended reason: Kong Mansion is connected to the Confucius Temple, and you can reach the entrance of Kong Mansion after visiting the Confucius Temple. Kong Mansion is the place where Confucius' descendants live. It is a 9-entry courtyard with a three-way layout and a very large scale. The overall architecture is mainly Ming and Qing, the front is the place for handling government affairs, the back is the place to live, and there is a private garden at the end. 3、Kong Forest Lindao Road, Shuyuan Street Opening hours: 8:30-17:00 Ticket: 10 yuan, three-hole ticket 140 yuan Recommended tour time: 1 hour Recommended reason: Kong Forest is about 2 kilometers away from Kong Mansion and is the burial place of Confucius and his descendants. The entire scenic area is relatively large, but generally visiting Confucius' tomb is enough. 4、Wang's Meat Pie 100 meters north of the intersection of Jingxuan Middle Road and Humiao Street Business hours: 7:30-20:00, average 15 yuan per person Recommended dishes: pork with green onions, pork with fennel, pork with green peppers Recommended reason: Wang's meat pie is really fragrant! I have to queue up in the morning, a pie is super big, it can be cut into 8 pieces, people with small stomachs definitely can't eat it. The meat pie is fried very fragrant, even the pork with green onions will not have a very exaggerated onion flavor, and the mouth is full of meat fragrance. 5、Old Qufu Lu Noodle House 108 Jingxuan East Road Business hours: 9:00-21:00, average 30 yuan per person Recommended dishes: pot meat noodles, fried chicken, pot meat rice Recommended reason: You can come here to taste the local specialties of Qufu, but I personally think that Kongfu tofu is not very delicious. The pot meat is marinated stewed meat, not greasy, the fried chicken is salty and sweet, the noodles are also very chewy, mainly the price is really cost-effective. Tips: ✔️The rickshaws and horse-drawn carriages on the side of the road are really unnecessary. Basically, the attractions are not far away. If you have good physical strength, you can walk. If you don't have good physical strength, you can call a taxi. It is definitely much cheaper than rickshaws and horse-drawn carriages. ✔️In addition to the three holes, you can also visit the Confucius Museum and Nishan Holy Land. ✔️You can stroll around Qushi University Night Market at night, there are many snacks, navigate to Baiyulan Qushi University Store and you will arrive at Qufu Three Holes Scenic Area.
