#chinatravel Welcome to Qufu—the hometown of Confucius and the soul of Chinese Confucianism. Whether you’re a history buff, a culture lover, or just seeking a meaningful trip, this thousand-year-old city offers a perfect escape. Start with the Three Confucian Sites (Kong Miao, Kong Fu, Kong Lin), all part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll walk through the temple, residence, and tomb of Confucius himself. Next, don’t miss the Nishan Sacred Land, his birthplace, which hosts spectacular night shows with fireworks, light displays, and drones. For a more modern twist, head to Luyuan Village, a picturesque ancient-town-style scenic area perfect for photos. Deepen your understanding of Confucianism at the Confucius Museum, home to over 700,000 cultural relics. Lastly, if you’re up for nature, hike Shimenshan, the best mountain for outdoor lovers in Qufu. #travel #trip #china #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary
