Confucius Forest in Qufu
Confucius Forest in Qufu
"Confucius Forest" (Kong Lin) is a cemetery where Confucius and 70+ generations of his descendants have been buried. Besides the tombs of Confucius himself, it contains a number of interesting sculptural ensembles from the Ming and Qing eras, decorating the tomb sites of the Confucius' descendant who were the area's feudal rulers, as well as other dignitaries.
One tip is to go to the Confucian cemetery towards the end of the day (maybe at 4) and then stroll around until the tour groups are leaving, and you will have the forest for yourself. Walk to Confucius grave and share some silent moments across 2,500 years with him. A treat if you have been travelling around China for a while and are tired of hoards of people and noise.
