The Confucius Temple, Confucius Cemetery, and Confucius Mansion in Qufu, collectively known as the "Three Confucian Sites" of Qufu, are sacred sites for commemorating Confucius and for Confucian scholars to pay homage throughout Chinese history. They are renowned for their rich cultural heritage, long history, grand scale, abundant cultural relics, and scientific and artistic value.
It's definitely worth a visit. The steles, historical origins, inscriptions by emperors throughout history, the origins and development of Confucian culture, the lives of Confucius and his descendants, and Confucius teaching literature and history to his students are all very memorable. (You need to calm down and find a guide to explain things, or follow an online guide beforehand and then visit the site in person.)

The environment is wonderful, nestled at the foot of the mountain, very close to Nishan Sacred Site. The hotel offers shuttle service by electric cart, and the service is excellent. The rooms are spacious and bright, each with its own private courtyard and tea room, perfect for enjoying tea or working. I would definitely stay here again next time I visit Qufu. Highly recommended!
This newly renovated attraction is perfect for a good day. The most impressive indoor attraction is the University Hall, a truly magnificent display. Tickets can be purchased in advance for the Golden Voice and Jade Resonance performance, which is well worth the price. The fireworks, lights, and fireworks show at 7:20 pm were stunning and completely worth the price! Remember, good weather is crucial, otherwise there won't be any fireworks.

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 scenic area is a small hill, which is not tiring to climb. It will take you to the top of the hill in no time. There is the Zhongyi Hall on the top of the hill to visit, and there are many views along the way!
We took our kids to Yuncheng and passed by Liangshan. The mountain isn't big, so it's easy for the kids to climb, and there's even a children's play area. A visit to Liangshan is a must for any child who's read Water Margin.

This scenic area is definitely worth visiting. It's very well maintained, and the parking lot is very convenient, right at the entrance. Although it wasn't peak season, there were still quite a few cars parked at the entrance. It's definitely worth a visit.
This place is definitely worth a visit. There are some unexpected surprises. The ticket price is only ¥35, but it includes two attractions. It's quite worthwhile; I didn't expect such a small county in Shandong to have such a hidden gem.

[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.
