2024 Qufu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

The cheapest JW Marriott!

The cheapest JW Marriott? Opened in 2019, the details are already old. The location is right next to the Confucius Temple, with several two-story buildings. I specifically asked for a room in the southeast corner. After check-in, they called to ask if there were any problems or requests, which was very thoughtful. The waiters in the hotel are generally enthusiastic. The gym is very small and the lighting is dim. It takes half an hour to get to Jinan by high-speed rail, but it's very unreasonable to take a taxi at Qufu East Station.

Confucius Museum, Qufu

It is nice place to learn about Confucius, well organized, with clear directions to follow, and with online guide. Every hall has an introduction in double language including English, unfortunately the single things on show only have Chinese tags. How to get there: I suggest by taxi since is not in the historical downtown, it is located not far from the West High Speed Train Station….so I did visit it before to board the train back to Shanghai. Is a modern museum which greatly shows the excellent traditional Chinese culture represented by Confucianism. #tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #lucaworldtraveler

The joy of transferring trains - the Three Confucian Sites in Qufu.

After the Rizhao trip, we took a train from Junan North to Qufu East to transfer back to Beijing, and enjoyed the joy of transferring trains again. We arrived at Qufu East at 10:00 am and stored our luggage in a shop outside. A friend of ours negotiated the price, and in the end, each of us paid only CNY 8. This is a good idea for future reference. There are buses to the Three Confucian Sites at the train station. People over 60 can take the bus for free by swiping their ID cards. The fare is CNY 1, and you can pay by scanning a WeChat code. Alipay is not available. We experienced the "hospitality of Shandong." We got off at the main entrance of the Temple of Confucius and visited the sites along the central axis to the north. Over the years, I have visited many Confucius temples, and this time I came to the place of origin. After finding two places with distinctive architectural features, "Gou Xin" (Figure 15) and "Dou Jiao" (Figure 16), I was satisfied and went to the Kong Family Mansion. What impressed me most about the Kong Family Mansion was the "cold bench." The Temple of Confucius in Qufu, the Forbidden City, and the Chengde Mountain Resort are known as the three major ancient architectural complexes in China. In 1961, the Temple of Confucius, the Kong Family Mansion, and the Cemetery of Confucius became the first batch of "national key cultural relics protection units." In 1994, they were listed as a "World Cultural Heritage" by UNESCO, and in 2007, they were rated as the first batch of 5A tourist attractions in China. After visiting the Kong Family Mansion, everyone was a little tired. Some took a taxi to the Cemetery of Confucius, and some took a taxi to Nishan Sacred Land. They bought the latest high-speed train back to Beijing. I really wanted to go to Nishan Sacred Land, but I didn't have time, so I left it for another time when I have the opportunity to transfer trains.

Qufu, Jining.

Qufu, Jining | Yan Temple, the Temple of the Repeated Sage, a disciple of Confucius who never changed his joy Qufu Yan Temple, also known as the Temple of the Repeated Sage, is a temple dedicated to Yan Zi and is listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit. Yan Temple is divided into three routes and five courtyards, with 24 buildings from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, totaling 159 rooms. There are 53 stone inscriptions from the Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Yan Zi, also known as Yan Hui, courtesy name Ziyuan, was Confucius' most accomplished disciple. Confucius once praised Yan Zi, "How virtuous is Hui! With a single bamboo basket of food and a single gourd of drink, he lives in a humble alley. Others cannot bear such hardship, but Hui never changes his joy. How virtuous is Hui!" When Emperor Gaozu of Han offered sacrifices to Confucius with the highest level of ceremony, he also offered sacrifices to Yan Hui, who was ranked first among the seventy-two sages. During the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the state held Buddhist ceremonies, Confucius was honored as the First Sage and Yan Hui as the First Teacher. Emperor Taizong of Tang also honored Confucius as the First Sage and Yan Zi as the First Teacher, while Emperor Xuanzong of Tang honored him as the Sub-Sage and Duke of Yan, Emperor Zhenzong of Song conferred him the title of Duke of Yan, and Emperor Wenzong of Yuan honored him as the Duke of Yan and the Repeated Sage. In the ninth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming dynasty, he was renamed the Repeated Sage. The main hall, the Hall of the Repeated Sage, enshrines a statue of Yan Zi. It was first built in the Yuan dynasty, with surrounding corridors supported by stone columns. The four columns in the front corridor are carved with cloud dragons, while the four side columns are carved with dragons, phoenixes, and flowers, which are relics from the Ming dynasty. Inside the hall hangs a plaque inscribed with "Purely Embodying the Sage" by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty. The original site of the humble alley had an ancient well, which was said to be used by Yan Zi, hence the name "Yan Zi Well." During the Xining reign of the Song dynasty, "Kong Junzonghan, the governor of Jiaoxi, first obtained the land, dredged and repaired the well, and built a pavilion on top of it."
