Lunch at your own expense. Recommended restaurant ~ Qufu Mingzuo Xingtan Hotel (Three Confucius Sites Branch) · Junzitang: Fresh ingredients, unique flavors, and a wide variety of dishes. There are hundreds of options including cold and hot dishes, seafood, fruits, pasta, desserts, and live cooking. In addition to Confucius family cuisine and pastries, you can also taste local specialty snacks. 2. Jiekou Restaurant (a small, popular eatery operating for 20 years): ✅Large Plate Chicken Noodles 💰68: Truly a huge portion. Noodles are underneath the chicken. Overall, it's on the spicier side. The noodles soak up the sauce by the end and are incredibly flavorful, absolutely delicious. ✅Grape Chicken Cubes 💰22: Also a large portion. Overall, it's moderately sweet and sour. The chicken is coated in a sweet sauce, and the grapes provide a slight tartness, making it a delightful sweet and sour combination with the sauce. Slept in until natural wake-up on Sunday and continued the food hunt 😂 ✅Xiaohebian Jiabing Fried Skewers: Reportedly a place visited by Wulala. One person's sandwich with many fried items only cost 💰14 in total. It's located in a narrow alley in a small residential building, difficult to park. ✅San Tang Mianjiao: After getting the sandwich, I randomly found a breakfast place nearby. There are many breakfast shops in the area, with small tables set up outside. Two people ordered a bowl of egg San soup 💰3 and five Mianjiao 💰3 (0.6 CNY each). The Mianjiao were delicious. I saw locals dipping them in the San soup. Compared to Linyi's San, Jining's San has a milder flavor, and I personally prefer Jining's. ✅Handmade Salty Jianbing: On the way back from Nishan Sacred Land, I bought some handmade salty Jianbing in Nishan Town. The crispy Jianbing has peanuts inside, available in spicy and original flavors, ten yuan per jin. I've often bought them online before; they're very fragrant and I love them. 3.

Recommended scenic spot: Baihua Valley (Hundred Flowers Valley) The Holy Mother Spring in Baihua Valley, with its gushing streams and crystal-clear water, is flanked by strange rock formations, and the stream is dammed to form pools. Touching the unique stones and watching the swimming fish is endlessly delightful. As you ascend the steps, you'll find flowers in the mountains and fragrant grasses by the stream. This wild and interesting place truly makes one linger. 3. Three Confucius Sites It is recommended to visit the Three Confucius Sites (Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, Confucius Forest) in the order of "Confucius Temple → Confucius Mansion → Confucius Forest" to save travel time and gradually experience Confucian culture. Also, don't miss the special performances and experiential activities. The scenic area has numerous cultural relics; please do not touch or damage inscriptions and buildings. The Confucius Forest has dense vegetation; take mosquito repellent measures in summer. Maintain quiet and solemnity throughout your visit. 3. Lunch to taste new-style Confucius family cuisine --- Confucius family cuisine was a special banquet prepared by the Confucius Mansion for receiving distinguished guests, assuming titles, birthdays, and weddings. It gradually formed a unique family banquet system after hundreds of years of continuous development and enrichment. Based on northern cuisine, it is an important part of Shandong cuisine. Representative dishes include: Kongfu Braised Chicken, Daizi Shangchao (Chicken with Eggs), Kongmen Tofu, Jingu Yintiao (Golden Hook Silver Strip), Yangguan Sandie (Three Folds of Yangguan). 4.

This differs from the policy for Qufu's Three Confucius Sites. To enjoy free entry or discounts, corresponding valid identification must be presented.
