    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!
