This trip to the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion was a truly enriching cultural experience, guided by our guide, Xun. His explanations were easy to understand and gave us a vivid and engaging understanding of Confucian culture. Free luggage storage was available before the tour, and a dedicated shuttle service was provided to return us to the departure point afterward, which was very convenient. The Ctrip staff were also very welcoming.
Qufu boasts the Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and Confucius Cemetery. I drove all the way from Beijing with my nearly 80-year-old parents to visit. Admission is free for those over 60, so I give Shandong a big thumbs up for its cultural tourism. It fulfilled my parents' wish to see the sage's office and residence. Perfect!

Confucius said: "It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar, and among three people there must be one who can be my teacher." If you come to Jining, it is worth a visit. The visual experience is quite shocking.
The show was great, beyond expectations, the actors worked hard, and the ticket price was reasonable. However, the only downside was that you had to buy a ticket to get in, and the price/performance ratio was not high.

Mr. Kong’s explanation was wonderful. There were many children in the group, and his explanation and interaction were very targeted. They were vivid and detailed, yet humorous and witty. He was passionate throughout the two and a half hours. I could feel his full involvement. He was by no means superficial or perfunctory. I was very moved!
It is still very necessary to listen to the explanation of the Confucius Museum. We were very lucky to meet Teacher Chen, who is very beautiful, elegant and very connotative! She took us through the whole process with great patience. The explanation process was not boring at all. She also interacted with the children. The children liked it very much and were always very focused! Teacher Chen will carefully introduce each exhibit, and the meaning behind each exhibit is very moving! A very good experience! Recommend Teacher Chen! 👍

Weishan Lake Scenic Area, located in the southern part of Shandong Province, is a comprehensive tourist attraction that integrates natural scenery, historical heritage, and revolutionary struggle history. It is the largest freshwater lake in northern China. Every July and August, the lotus flowers bloom in the ten thousand mu lotus pond, presenting a beautiful scenery of endless green lotus leaves and red lotus flowers in the sun. To enter Weishan Island, you need to take a ferry. There are more people on holidays, so you should avoid peak travel. There are historical sites and the Railway Guerrilla Memorial Hall on the island, which are worth seeing.
Very enthusiastic, the driver on the island introduced us to every scenic spot and took us to check in. Next time, I will bring my friends to eat fresh fish. It was a very good trip. Shandong tourism is real and honest. It is very good and does not overcharge customers.

The attractions are very nice and the ticket prices are very affordable. I really enjoyed it. The performance was wonderful and it's a must-see for families. The facilities are complete and there are plenty of parking spaces! Overall, I'm very satisfied! !!!!!!
The Shuibo Liangshan Scenic Area boasts both a rich history and rich cultural heritage, as well as natural beauty. The hills are relatively low, so climbing them is a great way to exercise. There are daily performances on holidays, so you can check them out while you're hiking.

I spent a day at the Confucius Temple in Qufu and found this place. It's not a big place, and it seems to highlight the story of Meng Mu's three moves. I wanted to hire a guide, but I had to wait. So I just took a walk and enjoyed the gardens.
Mencius Temple and Residence, a National 4A-level scenic spot, is not particularly crowded, with a relatively comfortable flow of visitors. Built in the Northern Song Dynasty, the temple is the main structure dedicated to Mencius and is well-preserved, offering a great place to learn about his life, major activities, and deeds. Audio guides are available online or at the scenic area for a detailed tour. The parking lot is conveniently located right at the entrance, though spaces are limited, making parking difficult for large groups of visitors.

[Scenery] I took my family here in mid-August. We saw the "Song of Time" at the Mountain and River Theater, experiencing 5,000 years of Chinese history. It was very educational and perfect for students to learn about Chinese history. The evening fireworks show was breathtaking, and the performances were excellent. All the buildings within the park are magnificent and I'd definitely come back if I had the chance.
[Value for Money] This park offers excellent value for money. The app shows that there are over 40 rides you can enjoy directly by queuing. It's not as low-quality as they say online. There's something for everyone. The criteria for judging a place is that if you're in a good mood and have fun, everything is fine. I think Jining Fantawild is a great place for a vacation. I'm thinking of getting an annual pass next time. You're the one who sees the scenery, not others. Don't just follow what others say. Good or bad is something you observe and judge with your own eyes.
[Fun] There are a lot of thrill rides here, including roller coasters, rapids, and a pirate ship. My friend rode the pirate ship so many times that he didn't want to get off. If it weren't for the long lines, I would have ridden the pirate ship several times. Next time, I'll avoid peak travel times and try it again when there are fewer people.
In short, Jining Fantawild is a place worth experiencing. See everything with eyes that appreciate beauty. Even rain brings out the unique scenery.
This park is well worth a visit. Whether it's the service, the park landscape, or the project experience, it's all very satisfying. The large indoor projects not only give you pleasure, but also teach you a lot and enhance your patriotic feelings. The large indoor projects such as Flying, Railway Guerrilla, Heroines, and Yuanmingyuan are all very pleasant surprises.
