    It was a pleasant surprise. I visited the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion on the first day, but I was a bit tired, so I didn't go to the Confucius Cemetery. I thought my combined ticket for the three Confucius sites would be invalid on the second day, but on a whim, I opened the QR code on the combined ticket, and it was still valid for entry, which was a pleasant surprise.

    The environment is wonderful, nestled at the foot of the mountain, very close to Nishan Sacred Site. The hotel offers shuttle service by electric cart, and the service is excellent. The rooms are spacious and bright, each with its own private courtyard and tea room, perfect for enjoying tea or working. I would definitely stay here again next time I visit Qufu. Highly recommended!

    Mr. Kong’s explanation was wonderful. There were many children in the group, and his explanation and interaction were very targeted. They were vivid and detailed, yet humorous and witty. He was passionate throughout the two and a half hours. I could feel his full involvement. He was by no means superficial or perfunctory. I was very moved!

    Weishan Lake Scenic Area, located in the southern part of Shandong Province, is a comprehensive tourist attraction that integrates natural scenery, historical heritage, and revolutionary struggle history. It is the largest freshwater lake in northern China. Every July and August, the lotus flowers bloom in the ten thousand mu lotus pond, presenting a beautiful scenery of endless green lotus leaves and red lotus flowers in the sun. To enter Weishan Island, you need to take a ferry. There are more people on holidays, so you should avoid peak travel. There are historical sites and the Railway Guerrilla Memorial Hall on the island, which are worth seeing.

    The scenic area is a small hill, which is not tiring to climb. It will take you to the top of the hill in no time. There is the Zhongyi Hall on the top of the hill to visit, and there are many views along the way!

    I spent a day at the Confucius Temple in Qufu and found this place. It's not a big place, and it seems to highlight the story of Meng Mu's three moves. I wanted to hire a guide, but I had to wait. So I just took a walk and enjoyed the gardens.

    [Scenery] I took my family here in mid-August. We saw the "Song of Time" at the Mountain and River Theater, experiencing 5,000 years of Chinese history. It was very educational and perfect for students to learn about Chinese history. The evening fireworks show was breathtaking, and the performances were excellent. All the buildings within the park are magnificent and I'd definitely come back if I had the chance. [Value for Money] This park offers excellent value for money. The app shows that there are over 40 rides you can enjoy directly by queuing. It's not as low-quality as they say online. There's something for everyone. The criteria for judging a place is that if you're in a good mood and have fun, everything is fine. I think Jining Fantawild is a great place for a vacation. I'm thinking of getting an annual pass next time. You're the one who sees the scenery, not others. Don't just follow what others say. Good or bad is something you observe and judge with your own eyes. [Fun] There are a lot of thrill rides here, including roller coasters, rapids, and a pirate ship. My friend rode the pirate ship so many times that he didn't want to get off. If it weren't for the long lines, I would have ridden the pirate ship several times. Next time, I'll avoid peak travel times and try it again when there are fewer people. In short, Jining Fantawild is a place worth experiencing. See everything with eyes that appreciate beauty. Even rain brings out the unique scenery.
