Two-Day Tour of Qufu Nishan - A Cozy Stay at Ji Hotel

On this trip to Qufu, I unexpectedly discovered a heavenly courtyard-style hotel! Ji Hotel (Qufu Nishan Branch) is simply the king of cost-performance for a star-level experience, with a captivating blend of Chinese and Western styles 💯 📍Perfect Location Right in the core area of the Nishan Sacred Land Scenic Area, just an 8-15 minute walk to the visitor center. Some room types have direct access to the scenic trail, super convenient. The surroundings are quieter than typical scenic hotels, yet you can see cultural landmarks like the sacred statue and Luyuan Village at a glance. You can explore or rest as you please~ 🏡 Stunning Chinese Garden The white walls and gray tiles of the Chinese architectural complex are nestled in greenery. On sunny days, a stroll in the courtyard with willows gently swaying makes every photo a masterpiece of traditional Chinese style. My favorite spots are their tea room and library; the movable type printing experience is perfect for kids, and afternoon tea time is incredibly relaxing~ 🛏️ Smart Rooms Are Amazing The rooms are brand new, featuring smart control systems, dry-wet separated bathrooms, and smart toilets with all the details perfected. The soundproofing is so good you can’t hear footsteps outside. Special praise for the bedding! Medium firmness, no noise when turning over, a blessing for deep sleep lovers. 🍜 Hearty Breakfast Alert The buffet breakfast has so many options it’s hard to choose, featuring Shandong specialties like Jianbing Guozi and Western-style breads and desserts. The beef noodles cooked fresh by the auntie are amazing—I ate them three days in a row without getting tired! I heard you can also order room service, but dining in the courtyard with the view is unbeatable. 🎯 Nearby Activities The hotel offers free shuttle buses to and from the scenic area, and the staff thoughtfully provide travel advice. I recommend going to the Nishan Sacred Land for the light show at dusk, and during the day you can try making lacquer fans for a full cultural experience! 💡 Booking Tips 1. Book a week in advance; some room types have direct access to the scenic trail. 2. For family trips, remember to request bed-sharing service. 3. Bring an umbrella on rainy days—the hotel will remind you, but it’s safer to have your own. 4. Visiting in the off-season offers better value and fewer people for courtyard photos. In short: Staying here means you get star-level service + cultural experience + prime scenic location all at once. Just for the breakfast and courtyard, I want to come back many times!
