This is a great town to explore, to the locals these is the hometown of their beloved teacher, Confucious. Known for his teachings.

This is in Qufu town. If you're looking for an ancient Chinese water town, without the water. This is where to be. It's a really small area with not a lot of foreign tourists visiting. I would recommend this to people who would like to travel in smaller crowds .
