The three Kong scenic areas are connected together, and the central axis of the Confucius Temple is very long. I originally thought that if I don&rsquo;t take exams or civil service exams, I should not ask for anything and not buy anything. But it&rsquo;s too early to say that. From 80-year-old people to babies, there is always one that suits you. Who can stop you from getting a good score on the gold list and achieving success? Buy, buy, buy.

Awe-inspiring!!!
You can tell a lot of thought went into the scenic area, with its ingenious design and magnificent architecture. The nighttime performances are especially worth the price of admission. Highly recommended!!!

It is still very necessary to listen to the explanation of the Confucius Museum. We were very lucky to meet Teacher Chen, who is very beautiful, elegant and very connotative! She took us through the whole process with great patience. The explanation process was not boring at all. She also interacted with the children. The children liked it very much and were always very focused! Teacher Chen will carefully introduce each exhibit, and the meaning behind each exhibit is very moving! A very good experience! Recommend Teacher Chen! 👍
