Great place, has all possible facilities

A must see site near Qufu!

(Translated by Google) Mount Niqiu, where Confucius' parents hid? (Original) 孔子の両親が隠れていた尼丘山？

A grand mansion memorializing the life of the famous philosopher Confucius. Plenty of exhibits, art pieces and carvings about the great man. The place was super crowded with hundreds of students on school trips when we were there.

The Temple of Confucius in Qufu is the oldest and largest temple dedicated to Confucius. Located in the philosopher’s hometown, Qufu, in the Chinese province of Shandong. Founded in 478 BC. e. With the spread of the teachings of Confucius, and especially since the time when Confucianism was declared the state ideology, the memorial temple of Confucius in Qufu gradually became a shrine of national significance, a place of sacred Confucian ceremonies

Great place with both Chinese and English signs explaining the different sections. In the evening some of the places are lit up, giving it a modern feel to the historical attractions.

An incredible experience on confucianism. Make sure to use a tour guide for his explanation about the history of Confucius.

The temple, cemetery and family mansion of Confucius, the great philosopher, politician and educator of the 6th–5th centuries B.C., are located at Qufu, in Shandong Province. Built to commemorate him in 478 B.C., the temple has been destroyed and reconstructed over the centuries; today it comprises more than 100 buildings. The cemetery contains Confucius' tomb and the remains of more than 100,000 of his descendants. The small house of the Kong family developed into a gigantic aristocratic residence, of which 152 buildings remain. The Qufu complex of monuments has retained its outstanding artistic and historic character due to the devotion of successive Chinese emperors over more than 2,000 years.

Must visit

Great place to visit if you like history.

Great place and not too crowded even during summer. There’s a parade at the city gate nearby that’s worth seeing. The family mansion was large and had many courtyards. It’s not too commercialized and you can enjoy seeing the historic building. When I went there in July 2019, they had a renovation so not all buildings were open.

This is a place where most of the confucius family stay. Very historic and a must visit place.

good to visit for a while.

(Translated by Google) The Confucius Mansion, also known as the "Yanshenggong Mansion", is adjacent to the Confucius Temple in the west. It is the residence of the direct descendants of Confucius in the past dynasties. It has the title of "the first family in the world" and is also a world cultural heritage. The Confucius Mansion was founded in 1038 AD. The building is based on the highest-level nine-entry courtyard. It covers a vast area and has 463 halls and buildings. It is an architectural representative of the integration of official offices and inner residences. It is also the longest-lasting feudal aristocratic manor in history. When I walked into the Confucius Mansion, I deeply felt the magnificence of a wealthy family and the style of a scholarly family that I saw on TV. At the exit of Confucius Mansion, after passing the tourist service center and a street of various handicraft souvenirs, get on the eco-friendly car unique to the scenic spot and leave, heading to the bus parking lot. If you go to Konglin, you must also take an eco-friendly car. (Original) 孔府又稱「衍聖公府」，西與孔廟相鄰，是歷代孔子嫡系後裔居住的府第，有「天下第一家」的封號，也是世界文化遺產。 孔府創建於西元1038年，建築以最高等級的九進院落為基礎，佔地廣闊，建有廳堂樓房463間，是官衙與內宅合而為一的建築代表，也是歷史上延續時間最長的封建貴族莊園。走進孔府，深刻感受到，電視上看到那種大戶人家的氣派及書香世家的大家風範。 孔府的出口，經過遊客服務中心，及各式手工藝紀念品一條街後，坐上景區特有的環保車離開，前往大巴車停車場。若前往孔林也是必須搭乘環保車。

(Translated by Google) The residence looks very sad, despite its attractive exterior. Empty rooms, with no trace of the noble family who once lived there. (Original) Rezydencja wygląda bardzo smutno, mimo że z zewnątrz jest ładna. Puste pomieszczenia, bez śladu po przedstawicielach szlachetnej rodziny, którzy niegdyś w nim mieszkali.

(Translated by Google) A short walk from the Confucius Temple. Souvenirs are lined up along the way. The Kong family's home and office. I can only see part of it. There are shops everywhere inside the building. (Original) 孔廟から歩いてすぐ。途中にお土産さんが、並んでます。孔家の自宅と執務場所。部分部分しか観れません。建物の中は、どこも売店ですね。

(Translated by Google) The Confucius Mansion is the residence of the hereditary Duke Yansheng of the Confucius family. Not far from the Confucius Temple. Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and Confucius Forest. These "three holes" are joint tickets. In 2020, three-hole coupons are half price. The three places are different places. (Original) 孔府是孔子家族世襲衍聖公的居住。距離孔廟不遠。孔廟、孔府、孔林。這"三孔"是聯票。2020年三孔聯票半價。三處是不同的地方。

Beautiful and tranquil place. Was only there for 30 mins but it was an enjoyable and relaxing. Very old and well maintained with a deep history

Nice place. Tidy and peace, you don’t wanna miss this place!

A very old historical temple constructed during the Qin and Han dynasty.

Ok

Good !

(Translated by Google) Dai Temple is a World Cultural Heritage site and the place Emperor Qianlong visited most often. He wrote many poems praising Dai Temple, and many of the towering trees within the temple grounds are protected. (Original) 岱廟被列為世界文化遺產，乾隆皇帝來得最多的地方，親筆讚美岱廟詩詞也不少，廟內很多參天大樹受到保護

(Translated by Google) Located at the southern foot of Mount Tai in Tai'an City, Shandong Province, it is also known as the Dongyue Temple. It has a history of more than 2,000 years. It was a place where emperors of all dynasties held Zen ceremonies and worshiped the God of Mount Tai. Dai Temple was built in the Qin and Han Dynasties and has a complete complex of ancient buildings. It is also the highest-standard among temple buildings. Together with the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Three Kongs in Qufu in Shandong, and the Summer Resort in Chengde, it is also known as the four major ancient building complexes in China. There are more than 300 steles and stone carvings from past dynasties in Dai Temple, so it is known as the "Dai Temple Forest of Steles" and is one of the best places to appreciate calligraphy. The trees in Dai Temple are green and towering, and the environment is very beautiful and peaceful. Some precious ancient trees, such as "Han Cypress" and "Tang Huai", which have experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes, are the most ancient and valuable trees in Dai Temple. (Original) 位於山東省泰安市泰山南麓，也稱東嶽廟，已有2000多年的歷史，是歷代帝王舉行封禪大典和祭拜泰山神的地方。岱廟始建於秦漢，有著完整的古建築群，也是寺廟建築中規格最高的，與北京故宮、山東曲阜三孔、承德避暑山莊，並稱中國四大古建築群。 岱廟內存有300餘歷代碑碣石刻，故有「岱廟碑林」之稱，是欣賞書法的勝地知一。 岱廟內樹木蒼翠、大樹參天，環境十分優美寧靜。有些珍貴的古樹，歷經千年風雨滄桑的「漢柏」、「唐槐」，為岱廟古樹名木之最。

Great walk up 7000 steps. It got busy at the top, with lots of people huffing and puffing up the steep bit. Well worth a visit. Weekends and good days make it get very busy. So be grateful at the top when it gets steep and you too are huffing and puffing, whilst trying to impress your partner with your stamina, strength and fitness🤣

During my recent trip to China, I had the opportunity to visit Taishan Mountain, one of the tallest and most significant mountains in the country. The journey to the top was both challenging and exhilarating. I started my ascent in the early hours of the morning, determined to reach the summit in time to witness the sunrise. The climb was steep and demanding, but the anticipation of the view kept me going. As I reached the peak, I was greeted with the most breathtaking view I have ever seen. The sun slowly rose over the horizon, casting a golden glow over the landscape. The sky was painted with vibrant hues of orange and pink, and the entire scene felt almost surreal. It was a moment of pure tranquility and awe. In addition to the stunning sunrise, Taishan Mountain is rich in cultural and historical significance. The pathways are lined with ancient inscriptions and temples, each telling a story of the mountain's past. I took my time exploring these sites, immersing myself in the history and spirituality of the place. Overall, my visit to Taishan Mountain was an unforgettable experience. The combination of natural beauty, physical challenge, and cultural richness made it a truly unique adventure. I highly recommend anyone traveling to China to include Taishan Mountain in their itinerary. Witnessing the sunrise from the summit is a memory that will stay with you forever.

A beautiful and challenging Taishan to hike either with your foot or a hybrid mode of using available cable cars/bus.

This breathtaking shot captures a panoramic view from Mount Tai (Tai Shan), one of China's Five Great Mountains and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The scene is steeped in cultural, spiritual, and natural beauty.

Mount Taishan is one of the five Sacred mountains in China. It is situated in Tai’an city, Shandong Province. It is worth to mention that this mount is in the UNESCO world heritage sites. This is one of the most climbed mountains. The legend says that all Kings of China have had climbed this mountain and prayed for the success to the God. The best time for climbing us Summer and spring. If you want to have a nice scenery, then avoid to climb the mount in winter and Autumn. During my first climbing I could see the mountain and the city all in fog which doesn’t happen often as the locals say and only the luckiest people can be witnesses of this beauty. Another best time to visit the mountain is any night in summer because in the morning you will find an amazing sunset view if the weather is nice and not rainy. You can climb by foot which will take about 4 hours if you take a bus to the starting point. You might also take a cable car to the top which is not operating at night. In case of climbing at night be ready to experience cold on the top. Prepare tent where you can sleep and have jackets with you.

one of my great experience for visiting China, and challenged myself from the flights of stairs to see the sun rising. When you are up there, remember to rent the coat and return back at the peak of the mountain, don't bring it down like me... it was HELL.

Great experience! The weather was very cold but it was great because walking up all those steps got me sweating! There were some temples at the top and lots of nice snacks to buy on the way up!

Temple has a Buddhist ritual at 4pm every day. I would also advise to climb the stairs all the way up to the old Buddha statue on the mountain (over thousand years old). It offers nice views over the area around if the weather is good.

Beautiful statues and art and gardens.

not good

Quancheng Square - Great location. It is adjacent to Liyuan Street, surrounded by city parks, Baotu Spring and Black Tiger Spring to the east and west, high-end shopping malls, business circles and historical and cultural districts to the north, and Furong Food Street is within easy reach. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to Daming Lake. The Quancheng Plaza underground shopping mall is located on Tuquan South Road. Quancheng Square is very lively at night, with everyone dancing, playing sports, young and old, couples, families, tourists, etc. gathering. Rest in the park surrounding the city facing the river, take selfies, and fish in various ways. Across the river, the dazzling Hang Lung Mall and Guihe Shopping Center complement the liveliness of the square.

A huge plaza where you can find locals relaxing, exercising, and strolling. Great place to be immersed in the culture.You'll find a major landmark of Jinan here. On the square itself, there are a few small shops that sell soft drinks and snacks. Under the square, there is a pretty big grocery store with some eateries.

One of Jinan’s landmarks, nothing much to see and do here though. Inzone mall is right underneath, and Parc 66 is nearby. Music fountain performance takes place at 8pm everyday and worth a look.

Nice place to go around with family members

Beautiful square to just hang out! The people are super friendly and really curious for for foreigners! Lots of kids play around and elders are dancing in groups! Awesome to see! ☺️

A very nice place to relax, recreate and enjoy yourself while in Jinan city. #China is Beautiful

A very nice place to start off to any other sight in Jinan, the city river floats right next to it and there is even a small underground shopping-area. The fountain, which turns on every couple of hours, accompanied by Chinese traditional music, is surrounded by semi-circled pavilion featuring some of Shandong's and China's greatest personalities.

A renown attraction in Jinan City. Nice place to enjoy boating.

Public park with a very big lake. Option to take a boat ride to the center of the lake/island.

In summer, lotuses blooming is indeed a fine spectacle.

A good place to visit during day or night!

Okay place and it’s free now so definitely go there if you’re in Jinan. Might try boating.

Beautiful spot in Jinan. Taking a boat tour was nice.

Beautiful lake scenery - tranquil and peaceful. You can take a boat across the lake to one of the pavilions and admire the lake on the water.
