2024 Qufu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Confucius Museum, Qufu

It is nice place to learn about Confucius, well organized, with clear directions to follow, and with online guide. Every hall has an introduction in double language including English, unfortunately the single things on show only have Chinese tags. How to get there: I suggest by taxi since is not in the historical downtown, it is located not far from the West High Speed Train Station….so I did visit it before to board the train back to Shanghai. Is a modern museum which greatly shows the excellent traditional Chinese culture represented by Confucianism. #tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #lucaworldtraveler

Shandong Qufu Confucius Museum.

Did you guys come here during the May Day or National Day holiday? It was so crowded. I came to see what was going on and it turned out that I had the whole place to myself. There was no way, it just happened. The previous group had just left. I went in the afternoon when the primary school students had just left. I went on a business trip to Jinan and Qufu today. I've been to Jinan before, but it was my first time in Qufu. There is a direct bus from Qufu East Station. I took a taxi for 20 yuan. You can make a reservation at the entrance. There are lockers, but large suitcases are not allowed. I don't know if the service desk allows storage. They didn't even let me put my coat there. B1: Cultural and creative products, pass. 1F: Security check, only Picture 1, no exhibition hall, pass. 2F: Confucius's life, mainly a few bronze wares, cultural relics, stone and wood carvings, ancient books from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, ink paintings. 3F: Mainly Qing Dynasty clothes, utensils, pots and pans, invitations, a few cultural relics. The inside is very spacious. One cultural relic or a few books take up 200 square meters. There are many things inside that are basically the same. If you remove the Qing Dynasty books, some carvings, calligraphy and paintings, modern plaster figures, and many repeated categories, I guess you don't need two floors. One exhibition hall is enough. It takes about 1-2 hours to stroll around. It's very photogenic. I really don't want to spend 140 yuan to go to the Three Confucius Temples. I'll just take a look at the entrance. I don't know if I will regret not going in.

Deer are calling, and the ecological paradise is here: Qufu Xindeer Zoo, a green paradise for family fun.

Hidden in a corner of the historic and cultural city of Qufu is a vibrant green secret - Xindeer Zoo.

Here, you can have close contact with gentle deer and feel the innocence and harmony from nature. The first stop when you enter Xindeer Zoo is the Deer Park. Here, groups of sika deer and reindeer are freely active in the woods and grasslands. They have pure eyes and elegant manners, just like elves from fairy tales. Under the guidance of professional breeders, visitors can feed these gentle deer by hand. At that moment, you will find that all troubles and pressures are gone with the wind, leaving only the joy and peace in your heart. Children are even more excited. They carefully stretch out their hands, looking forward to their first contact with these beautiful creatures. The curiosity and surprise in their eyes are the most beautiful moments in the world. In addition to the Deer Park, Xindeer Zoo has carefully set up multiple exhibition areas, covering a variety of types such as terrestrial mammals, birds, and reptiles. Each area has professional commentators to provide visitors with vivid and interesting explanations, allowing everyone to learn more about natural ecology during the tour. For example, the colorful feathers in the Parrot Pavilion are eye-catching; the Tropical Rainforest Zone simulates a real ecological environment, making you feel like you are in the Amazon jungle, feeling the hot and humid breath; and in the Ocean World, the wonderful performance of dolphins leaping out of the water will definitely make you amazed. These colorful ecological experiences not only enrich children's cognition, but also add more fun and gains to family trips.

Qufu Three Confucius Sites - Mansion of Confucius.

⛩️From the east gate of the Temple of Confucius, you will come to an old street outside the palace wall, named Que Li Street, from which you can enter the Mansion of Confucius Scenic Area. The Mansion of Confucius, also known as the Mansion of Duke Yansheng, is the mansion where the hereditary Duke Yansheng of Confucius lived. The existing buildings were built in the 10th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1377). The plaque of "Sheng Fu" is hung above the gate, and there are two doors behind the gate, with the plaque of "Saint's Gate" hanging on it, and then there is a screen-style ceremonial gate called "Chong Guang Gate". After bypassing the Chong Guang Gate, there is a hall behind, which is the place where Duke Yansheng received the imperial edict and handled major official duties. Behind the hall is the second hall, also known as the retiring hall, which is the place where Duke Yansheng took a break after the ceremony in the hall. The corridor between the hall and the second hall is lined with red lacquered back benches, which are relics of the Ming Dynasty and have been stored for hundreds of years, known as the Ge Lao Bench. Behind the second hall is the third hall, which is the place where Duke Yansheng handled clan affairs. Further back is the inner house gate, which is the boundary between the front office and the back house, and inside the gate is the place where Duke Yansheng's family lived. The first building behind the inner house gate is the front upper room, which is the living room of the Mansion of Confucius to receive close relatives and close clansmen, and it is also the place for holding wedding and funeral ceremonies. Turn west into the flower hall, which is the place for family activities. After passing through the flower hall and the school house, you will come to the back hall building, the back east building and the back five rooms. The back hall building was originally the place where Duke Yansheng's family lived, and it is now arranged as the scene of the life of Kong Decheng, the 77th generation of the eldest son, after marriage. Finally, you will come to the back garden, which was built in the Ming Dynasty, with rockery pools and ancient tree pavilions. Kong Decheng is the 31st generation, that is, the last Duke Yansheng. With the victory of the 1911 Revolution, the feudal imperial system that lasted for thousands of years was broken, and the title of Duke Yansheng also lost its foundation. In the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935), Kong Decheng voluntarily requested the Nanjing Nationalist Government to revoke the title of "Duke Yansheng". The Nationalist Government believed that the Taoist tradition could not be abolished, so it was changed to "Dacheng Zhisheng Xianshi Fengsi Guan". After Confucius's death, his descendants lived in the simple old house in Que Li to worship Confucius, and built houses according to the temple. With the rise of Confucius's status, the scale of the Mansion of Confucius also expanded. In the second year of Zhihe in the Song Dynasty (1055), Emperor Renzong adopted the advice of the minister, conferred the title of "Duke Yansheng", and ordered hereditary, and the Mansion of Duke Yansheng was built.

The cheapest JW Marriott!

The cheapest JW Marriott? Opened in 2019, the details are already old. The location is right next to the Confucius Temple, with several two-story buildings. I specifically asked for a room in the southeast corner. After check-in, they called to ask if there were any problems or requests, which was very thoughtful. The waiters in the hotel are generally enthusiastic. The gym is very small and the lighting is dim. It takes half an hour to get to Jinan by high-speed rail, but it's very unreasonable to take a taxi at Qufu East Station.
