5th day at Qufu ( 曲阜 ) - 9 Nov ( Friday )
Last night was staying at Queli Hotel. The room was big and i don't feel secure in there at all. I don't know why. Early in the morning we had our breakfast at the dining place. The breakfast was so nice~ It has a mixture of Western, Chinese and Japanese food! Cool..
After breakfast, we went to visit the Confucius Temple, Mansion and Cem
etery. Qufu is the birthplace of Confucius and he's born in Qufu for more than 3,500 years ago. The temple was constructed in 478 B.C., which was the year after Confucius's death. Throughout the 3,000 years, the temple had been built for many times. The Confucius Cemetery is located at the North West of Qufu city. It was built in the year after following Confucius's death and it has been renovated many times since H
an dynasty with the increase of Confucius's social status.
We spent the whole morning and afternoon just by visiting Confucius. It's quite tiring because the place is big. But it was a wonderful trip for us as we gained alot of knowledge here!
