Climbing mountains to view the sea
Kong Wang Mountain EL+123 is named after Confucius climbed this mountain to look at the East Sea.
In those years, Confucius went to the state of Tancheng to spread rites and music to the Dongyi people. He led his disciples to climb Kong Wang Mountain, and saw countless fiddler crabs on the beach below waving their large claws and crawling forward, thinking that these crabs were waving to him in salute. So he said to his disciples: Even the crabs here know about courtesy, what else is there for me to talk about? Then he returned to the state of Lu.
On that day, in front of the Dragon Cave Ancestral Hall of the thousand-year-old ancient temple on Kong Wang Mountain, an ancient golden-rain tree - also known as the sticky rice flower tree, over eight hundred years old, was in full bloom. The flowering period lasts only ten days a year, and at a glance, it looked like piled cotton or floating snow. It was so captivating that it made people forget to return!

Climbing Mount Kongwang in Lianyungang at six in the morning is a joyful hometown for the locals
Mount Kongwang is located in Haizhou District, Lianyungang City. As the name suggests, it was named because Confucius once climbed this mountain to look out over the East Sea. However, the mountain is not high, with an altitude of 123 meters. It is about 500m from the foot of the mountain to the top where the statue of Confucius looking at the sea is located, and it takes only half an hour to reach the summit. Along the way, there are many natural and cultural landscapes to photograph.
⬇️Hiking Route:
There are two entrances to the mountain at the foot, one on the left and one on the right, converging at the top. Tourists can choose not to retrace their steps or to return the same way they came. Cultural landscapes are mostly concentrated at the entrance on the left.
📌Opening Hours of the Scenic Area: 07:30-18:00.
However, you can enter the scenic area without a ticket before 7:30. I also came in after six this time, not necessarily to save on tickets, but during this period, many locals come to climb the mountain. They exercise on or at the foot of the mountain, practicing boxing, sword dancing, etc. At this time, you can really feel the spiritual and cultural life of the people of Lianyungang.
ps. It was Saturday, and I also met many children climbing and frolicking on the mountain. I really feel for the children of Lianyungang, don't they sleep in on weekends? Haha!
🎫Ticket: 40 yuan per person
🅿️There is a paid parking lot in the scenic area, but there are also many free spaces on the road at the entrance. It is not a major holiday, and it is easy to find free parking.
