This trip was booked to Mr. Han Zhaojun as an explanation teacher. Mr. Han explained the humorous and humorous throughout the whole process. It made a finishing touch on the tour of the Confucius Temple. Big friends and children like it very much. It is a special explanation.
Confucius doesn’t have to say more. Take the children to experience it and ask for explanations. It’s all very good. The only thing is that the price of burning incense in the hall, all kinds of morals, people are all kinds of awkward, and the two hundred incense is quite satisfactory. It’s not burning. Is it so good in front of Confucius?
Come on, whether the four words and words such as eight faces and exquisite, intrigue and other words are from the architecture; or the little bits and pieces that occur around Confucius and his generation and children, the teacher is very knowledgeable and praises
The tour guide we asked is the gold medal tour guide Mr. Kong Xiangzhi, the explanation is very detailed, the picture remarks are explained by Mr. Kong Xiangzhi, and shared a lot of small stories. The children especially like it and are very happy. When we separated, we also recommended that we go to the Wanxuan Palace wall to watch the video at night and go to Wuma Temple Street to watch the light show. I really like this teacher. Friends will recommend it in the future.
Adult tickets and children's tickets can be bought on Trip.com. It is really convenient to enter the park on the spot. swipe the second generation ID card and leave a photo record. This ticket should be valid for two days. This season is the off-season of Shandong tourism, and there are really few people. Visiting the Sankong Scenic Area requires a detailed understanding and thinking, so off-season travel is also a good choice. Bring your children to visit, tell your children about Confucius, talk about "Analects", and talk about the vastness and depth of Confucian thought.

Teacher Wang explained in great detail, using his rich knowledge to make history alive, explaining a lot of allusions we don't know. Thank you Mr. Wang for your warm explanation.
The three-hole scenic spot (Confucius Temple Confucius Mansion Confucius Forest), is really shocking. As soon as I entered the Confucius Temple, I didn't know how many gates I walked through. It felt like other places were like historical deserts. A tree was more than 1,000 or even 2000 years of history. Layers of time and space are piled with countless traces of saints and times.
