Walk into the hometown of the ancient sages in the textbooks! Qufu Nishan Sacred Land Guide

Qufu is a great place where you can learn about the story of Confucius, the ancient sage. The 'Three Confucian Sites' (Confucius Mansion, Confucius Temple, and Confucius Forest) are must-visit attractions in Qufu, and Nishan Sacred Land has become particularly popular among tourists in recent years. Visiting the 'Three Confucian Sites' is for commemoration and remembrance, while coming to Nishan Sacred Land allows you not only to have a distant dialogue with ancient sages but also to immerse yourself in the thousand-year-old traditional Confucian atmosphere! ♥ About Scenic Activities Nishan Sacred Land offers different activities and performances from morning to night. Every day at the Supreme Sage Square, there is a top scholar parade, and the gold list inscription and blessing stamps carry the expectations and wishes of students and parents. Following the textbooks to tour Nishan is even more interesting. Everyone can participate, and the questions are all within the scope of middle and high school textbooks. If you are well-versed in 'Confucius' and 'The Analects,' you will surely be able to answer fluently. If you like DIY, you can also check out handmade experiences like making sachets. Nishan Sacred Land is even more exciting at night. In the evening, there is a drone show called 'Three Thousand Lights for You' in front of the 72-meter Confucius statue, and the effect of the Kongming lanterns is fantastic! The Phoenix Dance at Nishan by the Holy Water Lake is not to be missed. The light and water show is dazzling, and the fireworks show is the climax, lighting up the entire night sky! ♥ About Accommodation With such exciting evening programs, staying overnight is worth it. Nishan Sacred Land has two hotels. Nishan Guesthouse Hotel is a standard five-star hotel with very comfortable rooms and a great sense of design, especially the lobby, which looks great in photos! Nishan Academy Hotel recreates the old residences of southwestern Shandong, and the standalone courtyard suites are the most popular. Bamboo forests, courtyards, and ancient buildings create a wonderful atmosphere! I recommend the Yatang Chinese Restaurant at Nishan Academy Hotel, where you can taste authentic Confucian cuisine. ♥ Transportation and Tickets 1. Qufu currently has no airport. You can fly to Jining or Jinan first, then take the high-speed train to Qufu East Station. The drive from Qufu East Station to Nishan Sacred Land takes just over 20 minutes. 2. I recommend buying a package ticket, which is more cost-effective. The Jinsheng Yuzhen performance is worth watching! It's an hour of pure amazement. 3. The specific performance times are subject to the scenic area's daily announcements.
