The birthplace of the saint, the three buildings are spectacular, very shocking, the Nishan Lake at the door is also very beautiful, if there is time, it is really suitable for living nearby for a while, rest quietly.
When I went there, I was anxious to watch the show and took the battery car. The staff was very good and sent it directly to the university hall. I personally felt that Jinsheng Yuzhen must be seen. It was very shocking. The money was also reasonable. The university hall was magnificent and full of money.
The first reflection is that it is very similar to the Lingshan Buddha in Wuxi. The artificial attractions and fares are not cheap (more than 60 can only be half free), but the visual effect is good. The university hall is quite shocking, and the fireworks show is full of sincerity. It is far away. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from Qufu city center. You can go and see if you have enough time and budget.
A place worth visiting. It is the third time to punch in the place. On the National Day, I went to see the Jinsheng Yuzhen performance and the drone and fireworks show at night. It was very shocking. It was very convenient to send tickets to the hotel next to the scenic spot.
Raid guides in advance before travel, book various tickets in advance. The performance is wonderful, and the various activities are also quite good. I didn't see the fireworks and drone shows. It is quite regrettable. Overall, it is a very good trip.
There are many people, there are few service staff in the scenic area, and it is not convenient to ask something. I went the wrong way and almost missed the show. Fortunately, activities in the scenic area can be, Jinsheng Yuzhen, iron flowers, drone fireworks, etc. are good. Buy tickets to enter the scenic spot and need to take a bus. Although there are many people, there are also many cars. This has to praise the organizers of the scenic spot activities.
A place where we have been planting grass for a long time... Time was chosen on Monday, and I didn't catch up with the performance of Jin Shengyuzhen. . The scenic spot came in and took the bus shuttle directly, and then officially entered. You can walk without buying a battery car and it’s not far away. The design in the university hall is too shocking. The light show is very good. ~ There are free children who can write ~ or rent an explanation ~~ is to go to the tree in winter. All bald, otherwise it will be very popular ~
Although the place is a bit far away, it is still worth a visit. You can feel the culture of Confucius and Meng here. As a Shandong person, you must understand. One thing is to go far and take a car, but the tickets are not cheap. The venue to visit at the gate is very far away. It takes a while to go. I went there during the summer vacation. Have to play an umbrella. It is highly recommended to perform the water curtain at night, the effect is not said, absolutely shocking! It is worth waiting for a few hours. One thing I don’t understand is why the transfer point in the scenic area is so far away. Is it for local transportation companies to do business? After the water curtain show is over, it takes a long time to take the car, and you have to leave quickly before you can get in the car earlier.
