The Dacheng Hall of the Confucius Temple, along with the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City and the Song Tiankuang Hall of the Dai Temple, are known as the three great halls of the East. With its double-eaved roofs, upturned eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, it is resplendent in gold and green. The architectural style of the Confucius Mansion is typical of the integration of official residence and private quarters in feudal China. The mansion's rear garden features mountains, water, forests, winding bridges, and other landscapes arranged in a harmonious and orderly manner, dotted with pavilions and towers.
The Temple of Confucius, as the material embodiment of Confucian thought, not only bears witness to the profound shaping of the Chinese nation by Confucian culture, but also reflects its inclusiveness that transcends racial boundaries, enabling Chinese civilization to continue and develop.
Truly awe-inspiring!
Met a beautiful woman while getting my ticket checked—refreshing and efficient.

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! 👍
