Konglin

In the Konglin, the descendants of the Kong family from Confucius to Kong Lingyi, the 76th generation of Yanshenggong who died in 1919, are buried. It is the largest, longest-lasting, and best-preserved clan tomb group and artificial garden in my country. The road from the Kong Mansion to the Konglin is neither close nor far. There are various ways to go there, but if you take a motor vehicle, no matter what car you take, you can only get to the Wan Gu Chang Qing Memorial Archway, which is more than 500 meters away from the entrance of the scenic area. You have to walk in. Along the way is a commercial street, so it is recommended that friends who can find the direction can ride a shared bicycle to go there, and you can ride all the way to the entrance of the scenic area. There is still a distance of 600 to 700 meters from the entrance to the Confucius Tomb. Most of the people who come to the Konglin are just to visit the tomb of Confucius himself. The entire Konglin is huge. People who have time can also rent a battery car in the scenic area to visit all the attractions. In front of Confucius' tomb, many parents of students bring their children to worship the sage Confucius, in order to pray for their children to succeed in their studies and get their names on the imperial examinations. The worship activities have become an industry. There are places that specialize in selling flower baskets and staff in uniform to lead you to worship Confucius according to Confucian worship etiquette.

After visiting Confucius' tomb, I walked around the cemetery alone. At first, it was okay, I wasn't too scared, but the deeper I went, the more eerie it became. I even hummed a song to give myself courage. When I arrived at the Ming Dynasty ancient tombs, I wanted to see the stone tablets, but I was scared by a tomb with relatively new soil. I didn't want to think about anything else and just wanted to leave quickly.

The longest dynasties in Chinese history only lasted a few hundred years. Dynasties changed rapidly, and only a handful of imperial tombs have been preserved intact. The well-preserved imperial tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties are relatively recent. However, Confucius' descendants continued to grow, and the Konglin Cemetery has been a family cemetery for two thousand years. The Konglin Cemetery has been preserved due to the special status of the Kong family. Among Confucius' descendants is the 64th-generation grandson Kong Shangren, whose "Peach Blossom Fan" has been passed down through the ages. His tomb is in the northeast of the Konglin Cemetery.



The Konglin is famous not only for the people buried there, but also for the stone carvings from past dynasties. The whole place is a stone carving art park. There are nearly a thousand stone statues, stone tigers, stone leopards, and stone horses from the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The numerous tombs, vast steles, and green pines and cypresses in the Konglin show the solemn and inviolable momentum of the Kong family, and fully demonstrate the unparalleled glory and aura enjoyed by Confucius and his descendants.

The Cemetery of Confucius, also known as the Cemetery of the Most Sage, is located 1.5 kilometers north of Qufu City. It is the family cemetery of Confucius and his descendants. Together with the Confucius Mansion and the Confucius Temple, they are collectively known as the "Three Confucius Temples".



The Konglin covers an area of nearly 2 million square meters, with more than 100,000 tombs and a sacred road connected to the city gate. Confucius' tomb is located in the middle of the Konglin, with a mound in the shape of a reclining axe. In the Han Dynasty, an altar was built and a sacred gate was built. In the Song Dynasty, stone rituals were carved. In the Yuan Dynasty, a stele was erected, a wall was built, and a double gate was built. In the Ming Dynasty, the Xiangdian tomb gate was rebuilt, and the Zhushui Bridge Archway and the Wangu Changchun Archway were added. The rich above-ground cultural relics in the Konglin are of great value for studying the evolution of China's burial system and ancient politics, economy, culture, customs, calligraphy, and art.



On March 4, 1961, Konglin was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In December 1994, Konglin was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Located in the north of Qufu, Konglin, also known as the "Forest of the Most Holy Ones", is the cemetery of Confucius and his descendants. After Confucius was buried here in 479 BC, his descendants have been buried here for more than 2,000 years. To date, there are about 100,000 tombs in the forest. Konglin is a large-scale, long-lasting, and well-preserved clan tomb complex and artificial garden in my country.

Originally called the Forest of the Most Holy, it is located 1.5 kilometers north of Qufu City, Shandong Province. It is the family cemetery of Confucius and his descendants, and is the longest-lasting family cemetery in the world. After Confucius' death, his disciples buried him on the Si River north of Lu City. Initially, there were only a few cemeteries and a few forest keepers. Later, as Confucius' status became increasingly high, the scale of the Confucius Forest became larger and larger.

To put it simply, Konglin is a cemetery. Over the past two thousand years, like the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion, Konglin has been expanded and renovated by successive dynasties and is much larger than today's Qufu City. There are various trees in Konglin. According to legend, after Confucius died, his students brought tree species from all over the world and planted them in the cemetery.



First, there is this high platform gate, and after passing through it, there is this corridor. There are 4 pairs of stone instruments on both sides of the corridor, which are from the Song Dynasty. There are more than 3,000 steles from various dynasties in the Confucius Forest, recording the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the Kong family over the past thousand years. The ink marks on these steles have become precious objects for studying Chinese calligraphy art.

There was enough time. I walked half a circle in an hour and a half. The environment was very good. I just wanted to feel it. The scenic area was too impetuous. Except for the tomb of Confucius, the surrounding tombs were all driven by electric cars. It was boring in ten minutes. It was much more interesting to walk in person. Of course, if you are afraid of it, it is not recommended. Hahaha

After leaving the Confucius Mansion, I chose to ride a Mobike to the Confucius Forest. In the middle, there were people selling cherries for 15 yuan per pound. The Confucius Forest itself is quite good. It is a family cemetery. It is mainly to visit the tombstones of Confucius and his descendants. It only takes half an hour to walk to see the Confucius Tomb. If you want to go around, it will take about an hour and a half. You can also choose to take a tour bus, but because the tourism industry in Qufu gives people a feeling of being a scam, I don’t want to make money for them. As soon as you enter the scenic area, someone will pester you to buy a tour guide service. I think the explanation in the WeChat account Sankong Scenic Area is very professional. I told them that I bought the audio explanation, and their attitude changed immediately, saying that these explanations are nonsense. Haha, in the end, I looked at the Baidu map and walked towards the Confucius Tomb. They also pointed me to another direction. Drunk! After that, I heard that the tour guides hired by others would only tell tourists that if you stand on the bridge, you will be safe every year, and if you touch the statue, your wishes will come true. The real history is not much. In summary, if you are interested in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Confucian culture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Sankong Scenic Area is worth visiting. However, if you are here for sightseeing, you might as well go to the Forbidden City in Beijing and don't waste your time here.

There will be many tricycles soliciting passengers to Confucius Forest when you come out of Confucius Mansion. The price ranges from 5 yuan, 10 yuan, to 20 yuan, depending on your bargaining ability. In addition, there is a bus stop for Guloumen not far from the exit of Confucius Mansion. Take bus No. 10 and get off at Wangu Changchunfang. The fare is 1 yuan, and Alipay scan code payment is supported.

It is quite far from the Confucius Mansion and the area is quite large. You can take a battery car. It is a bit scary to walk alone on the small road in the woods.

1.5 kilometers north of Qufu City, Shandong Province, is the family cemetery of Confucius and his descendants, which is the longest-lasting family cemetery in the world.

The ticket is 20 yuan. It is the resting place of Confucius' descendants and has a rest pavilion for emperors of all dynasties to pay homage.

The Konglin is located in the north of Qufu City. It is the cemetery of Confucius and his descendants. The Konglin is very large, surrounded by a wall, and contains nearly 100,000 tombs, including many famous people with the surname Kong. There are many stone inscriptions from past dynasties in the Konglin. If you are interested in this area, you may wish to take a closer look and you will gain a lot.

Is the Confucius Forest, the Forest of the Sage, an empty tomb? A cenotaph? A real tomb? The answer is not important at all. Fallen leaves return to their roots is the foundation of Han culture, and Confucius can only be buried here, there is no other place. Whether it is to return to his hometown, or to form the three pillars of the Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and Confucius Forest, as a group of ancient buildings in China, you must visit it.

The Confucius Forest covers an area of more than 3,000 mu. One of my colleagues really likes the environment with towering ancient trees and green shades. There are also many steles and stones in the Confucius Forest, which also has a cultural atmosphere. It is worth a visit.

The ticket gate is at the gate of the Holy Forest, and then there is a long road of about 500 meters, with first-class protected cypress trees on both sides - juniper and cypress. There are 73 on the right and 72 on the left, which are particularly majestic. The numbers on the Confucius Forest Tour Map represent the generations of Confucius.

The cypress trees planted in the Three Confucius Temples are all hollow. The Chinese plant cypress trees on the graves of the dead as a wish for the dead to have a "continuous scene". When passing the "Second Forest Gate", there are many wild tour guides at the gate (20 yuan for a tour, basically only introducing the first-line attractions of Confucius' tomb). There are scenic busses in the Confucius Forest (which go around the scenic area without stopping, which I personally find boring).

First, enter the main mausoleum area, walk across the Zhushui Bridge, under which is the Zhushui River (which is said to have been created by the Qin Emperor to burn books and bury scholars to cut off the Confucian tradition). On the corridor, there are stone beasts guarding the mausoleum. After the Xiandian, there is the calligraphy hand-planted by Zigong, followed by Kong Ji (Confucius' grandson), Kong Li (Confucius' son), and the tomb of Confucius (conferred by Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, with the tombstone: Great Sage Qi Xuan Wang) which is very solemn, and there are cypress trees planted along the way.

To be honest, the tomb complex in Konglin is extremely large, with graveyards everywhere on the roadside, and the yin energy is quite heavy. The ecological mystery of Konglin is "no crows above, no snakes below". It is said that as long as you have the surname Kong, you can be buried in Konglin after your death as long as you apply.

I was the only one walking along the way to the entrance. Tour buses kept passing by me, and the tourists in the buses stared at me in surprise. There was a road full of Class III protected oak trees. The more famous descendants of Confucius have tombs guarded by mythical beasts.

I came across a completely shady shop at the entrance of Confucius Forest. Don't go there. I just don't feel like going to Confucius Forest.

Konglin, also known as the Forest of the Sage, is the cemetery of Confucius and his family. It is the largest, longest-lasting and best-preserved clan tomb complex in my country, covering an area of about 3,000 acres.

If you don't visit, you can actually walk to Confucius's tomb without buying an eco-friendly bus ticket. I wanted to walk around on the weekend, but the cemetery didn't seem very big, and there were no people on the road. It was a mosquito colony. It was a bit scary, so I left quickly.

The Konglin is the largest of the "Three Kongs", but it is mostly the tombs and altars of the Kong family. Therefore, we took a quick tour on the tour bus and then left. It must be said that the ancients were very sophisticated and wise in their choice. Although the Konglin is not far from the Confucius Temple and the Confucius Mansion, it is indeed cold and rainy, and the atmosphere is bleak and murderous.

It is very convenient to go to Confucius Forest. From the entrance of Confucius Mansion to the road where you can buy the scenic area bus, walk half a stop forward and take bus No. 10 to the second to last stop. It costs 1 yuan and takes 10 minutes. Get off the bus and walk less than 50 meters forward to the scenic area bus stop. See the picture below.

However, the scenic area bus goes back and forth to the high-speed rail station, which is suitable for the elderly and convenient, 30 yuan

It was just so-so inside. I originally only wanted to go to the Confucius Tomb, but it was unexpectedly so close. I came out in less than 20 minutes. I met a tour guide inside, who kept talking to me. I actually knew that there were many things about bringing children and grandchildren, but Zilu didn't have a single stroke, and your son was not as good as mine. However, I thought it would kill time, so I said I would take care of your business, 10 yuan, and forget it if it didn't work. In fact, I only talked for less than 20 minutes... I felt that I left too early, so I walked around the Ming Tombs. I didn't walk fast, about an hour, just to kill time... Generally, I don't need to visit

Konglin, originally called the Forest of the Most Holy, is the family cemetery of Confucius and his descendants, and is the longest-lasting family cemetery in the world. Konglin is quite large, and the biggest attraction is Confucius's tomb. It is recommended to only visit Confucius's tomb, as the rest is just a cemetery of weeds.

The place where the Kong family worshipped their ancestors is very quiet. There are two rows of tall and ancient junipers and cypresses on the roadside, which are elegant. The parking lot at the entrance is more expensive, and the car can be driven to the front door in Figure 2. Overall, it is a very good place with a large yard. It is recommended to worship Confucius' tomb first.

The Konglin, originally called the Forest of the Most Holy Ones, is the cemetery of Confucius and his family. It is the largest, longest-lasting and most complete clan tomb complex and artificial garden in my country. The walls of the forest are all made of gray bricks. The ancient trees in the walls are towering and the forest is deep. It is said that Confucius' disciples planted trees from their hometowns in the Konglin, so there are many tree species. There are many tombs, steles and stone ants in the forest. In addition to the tombs and buildings of Confucius, Kong Li and Kong Ji, there are also tombs of Kong Lingyi, Kong Yugou, Kong Wenshao and Kong Shangren. In addition to a number of famous Han Dynasty stone steles that were moved into the Confucius Temple, there are also steles written by great calligraphers of past dynasties such as Li Dongyang, Yan Songweng, Fang Gang, He Shaoji and Kang Youwei. Therefore, the Konglin is also known as the Forest of Steles, which can be called a treasure house of calligraphy art.

The mausoleum of the Kong family is indeed one of the largest family mausoleums in the world.

The Forest of Confucius, also known as the Forest of the Most Holy, is a distance away from the Confucius Mansion and the Confucius Temple. It is the family cemetery of Confucius and his descendants. The place is very large and you need to walk a long way without taking an electric car.

Konglin, originally called the Forest of the Sage, is located 1.5 kilometers north of Qufu City, Shandong Province. It is the family cemetery of Confucius and his descendants and the longest-lasting family cemetery in the world.

The Konglin is the world's longest-lasting family cemetery, with a large number of tombs, a large scale, and a well-preserved state. The Konglin covers an area of more than 3,000 mu, with a circumference of 5,591 meters, more than 100,000 tombs, 4,003 tombstones, 116 ancient buildings, and 85 pairs of stone statues and stone instruments from various dynasties.

Konglin is the burial place of Confucius and his descendants. Although it is a large cemetery, it is a good place for a walk, relaxing and quiet. Scattered among it are the tombs of successive Yansheng dukes and many unknown people. Stone carvings from past dynasties can be seen, and the air is filled with the breath of history. I personally feel that it is the most worthwhile attraction to visit among the Three Kongs.

Although they are called the Three Kongs, they are less important than the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion, because they are a little far away, and there is still a long way to go outside the old city of Qufu. It is also very large inside, and if you want to visit the whole garden, you can consider taking a battery car.

Planting trees and educating people are the ways of sages. One has a noble spirit, two sleeves are clean and honest, three parts are proud of frost, four seasons are diligent in reading and writing, five grains are delicious, six spirits are always stable, seven emotions are moderate, eight directions are widely connected, nine have lofty ambitions, ten parts are kind.

Konglin, also known as the Forest of the Sages, is located 1.5km north of Qufu City. It is the cemetery of Confucius and his family. It is included in the World Heritage List together with the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion. Wow, it is a large area inside. You should take a battery car when you visit. There are many inscriptions written by famous people in Konglin, which can be called a veritable forest of steles. Konglin is lush and has many plants. It is a natural botanical garden. People and ghosts have different paths, so I won’t take pictures of people here.

Konglin, originally called the Forest of the Most Sage, is the family cemetery of Confucius and his descendants. It is the longest-lasting family cemetery in the world.

The Konglin includes the tomb of Confucius and his descendants. At first, I thought that there was nothing much to see in a cemetery, but I was actually very pleasantly surprised when I went there. Because in addition to the ancient monuments, the environment of the entire cemetery is very quiet. It is not filled with the breath of death at all, but very peaceful. It is very suitable for visiting in the evening. I guess it is the light of Confucius that blesses his descendants.

On the way to Confucius Forest, there is a classic stone archway and city tower, don't miss it.

Although the 150-yuan pass allows you to visit three attractions, only 1/10 of the people actually come to Confucius Forest, which is quite deserted. If you buy a pass, you can spend an hour to visit it, so there is no need to buy a separate ticket.

I originally thought that visiting the Kong family cemetery was not worth much, but I actually felt it was good after visiting it. The area is large, but there are battery cars, so you can first take a tour of the important landscapes outside; the important landscapes along the central axis can be visited slowly. The prices of the tour guide and battery cars are conscientious, which is quite good. The visit time is about one and a half hours.

The Konglin is the cemetery of Confucius and his descendants, 1.5 kilometers north of the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion.

It was already evening when we visited the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion and finally came to Confucius Forest. So this time, we didn't spend much time in Confucius Forest. However, it is really worth a visit. If you come here in the hot summer, it is still an ideal place to escape the heat. Confucius Forest is very large and the scenery is beautiful. Moreover, if you buy tickets to Confucius Mansion and Confucius Temple, you will get tickets to Confucius Forest for free. In this way, you can visit all three kongs. There are local tour guides at the entrance of the scenic area. If you want to listen carefully to the story of Confucius Forest, you can ask the tour guide to explain it, and the price is not expensive.

The Confucius Forest is really huge. It is better not to hike there. It is really tiring. The scenery is average among the three grottoes because it is not a place to see the scenery.

The family is a mausoleum, in spring, wild flowers are everywhere,

The tomb of Confucius and his sons, the forest is very big. Due to time constraints, I only went to Confucius' tomb and did not visit other tombs. I paid 40 yuan for the ticket but didn't see anything interesting!

Konglin is located in the north of Qufu City, covering an area of 2 square kilometers. It is the exclusive cemetery for Confucius and his family. We came out of the Confucius Mansion and walked north along Gulou North Street, Beiguan Street, and Lin Road for more than 20 minutes to reach Konglin. This is a very large ancient tomb. The tour guide suggested that it is best to take a sightseeing bus, which only costs 20 yuan, but it is very worthwhile. If you walk, it is too big and you will waste a lot of time. After taking a tour bus, you will know the scale of Konglin and what privilege is. There are more than 100,000 tombs with the surname Kong. According to the tour guide, the descendants of the Kong family can still enjoy this privilege. It gives people a feeling of what feudal privilege is and what it means that one person gets the Tao and his family rises to heaven. Of course, this has nothing to do with Confucius' thoughts.

Konglin is a key cultural relic protection site in China, also known as the Forest of the Sage. Konglin is the cemetery of Confucius and his descendants. Located in the north of Qufu City, it covers an area of more than 3,000 acres. It is the largest, longest-lasting and best-preserved clan tomb group and artificial garden in China. After Confucius died, his disciples buried him on the Sishui River in the north of Lu City. There are also guides in Konglin. The price is relatively cheap, about 30-50 yuan. The air inside is quite good. In addition, this is a cemetery, which is a bit scary when there are not many people inside!

Konglin is a cemetery for the descendants of Kong. There are sightseeing buses in the scenic area. It is recommended to take a bus and take a look.

Only Confucius had the privilege of having such a large family cemetery.

A cemetery with 240,000 inhabitants, the largest family cemetery in the world, there is a feeling of purification when you go there!

The Konglin is actually the family cemetery of the Kong family. It covers a large area. It is recommended to take a sightseeing bus. There are also tour guides on the sightseeing bus to explain the tombs of celebrities along the way. You will also have an understanding of the cemetery.

Many people say that you don't need to go to the Konglin, because there is only one tomb of Confucius. However, this is not just one tomb of Confucius, but a large tomb group. I'm afraid there are very few such tomb groups in China, and the whole place is filled with tombs. There are small electric cars, but I didn't take them. I walked around the tomb circle for more than an hour. I went there in the afternoon. At the end of the walk, the sun was setting, and I felt very happy with the various tombs, probably because I am a tomboy who likes to see tombs~

The Konglin is the last stop of the Three Kongs Cultural Tour. As the ancestral tomb of the Kong family, except for the more magnificent tomb of the "Yanshenggong" of the previous generation, the tombs of other branches are particularly thin. The more interesting ones are the tombs of Confucius and Yan Hui in the middle, and the tomb of Yu, the "adopted daughter of Emperor Qianlong" in the north. It is a pity that the more famous "Kong Shangren" was not found.

The forest is quite large, so if you have poor mobility, it is recommended that you take an electric car.

The words "reviewing the past to learn new things" are particularly accurate when applied to "classics", such as "The Analects". Nowadays, no matter how poor people are, they have always memorized a few sentences in middle school, such as "I examine myself three times a day" and "I am not angry when people do not know me". When you step into the Confucius family, you will inevitably feel like you are making a pilgrimage. At that time, I was like an excited fan who finally met his idol, or a senior book fan who met the author. People who are overwhelmed by emotions may have no rationality at all. It is necessary to wait until I grow older to understand that the old man who lived more than 2,000 years ago should not exist as a cold clay sculpture on the altar. He has flesh and blood, joy and sorrow. He stubbornly adhered to his ideals and was content with poverty, but this ideal was turned into a thought tool by the power-seekers of later generations, which could kill people without bloodshed and whitewash the peace. It has stumbled through 2,000 years of ancient history.



The foolishness of the ancients has long been returned to dust, and the foolishness of modern people cannot be blamed on the ancients. Reading "The Analects" is reading ourselves. So when we think back to the road to Confucius Forest, it is better to trace the origin rather than pay homage, and feel what kind of people created the culture that has become an inseparable part of the blood of the Chinese people. Good and bad things are known by themselves. In an era that has lost its heroic spirit, through the tombs in Confucius Forest, it seems that we can still see the Confucianists who have practiced themselves through the ages. In the past, they have been ups and downs, and today they have disappeared from the world and turned into a handful of yellow earth.

They are all graves. Just kidding. There is a stele of Zigong inside, you can listen to the origin of it.

As a representative attraction of Confucian culture, the Three Confucian Temples are worth visiting.

I arrived at Konglin in the afternoon of the fifth day of the first lunar month after touring the Confucius Mansion and the Confucius Temple. When my companions heard me talk about what Konglin was, they decided to go back to the hotel to rest. Konglin, the cemetery of Confucius' family, I went alone. Most people took electric cars to visit, but I walked the whole way. Baidu measured the distance, which was about 5 kilometers. I first paid homage to Confucius' tomb, bowed to show respect, and then walked around the forest clockwise. In the deep winter, the forest garden was piled with thick fallen leaves, and the stone statues were scattered everywhere without any rules. The thousands of tombs were very solemn and desolate. As the sky got darker, I didn't meet anyone who was traveling with me, but I was not afraid, but just lamented the desolation of history. Among the tombs of the descendants of the Kong family, the one that impressed me the most was not any generation of Yansheng Duke, but the tomb of Kong Shangren. There was no name on the tombstone, only Mr. Dongtang. Kong Shangren was the 64th generation grandson of Confucius, not a direct descendant, and had not served as a high official, but even the sightseeing bus would stop here and the tour guide would introduce him. As the saying goes, writing is eternal, the Kong family's high spirits and prominent status have gradually disappeared with the torrent of history, but what Kong Shangren left behind is "Peach Blossom Fan", a song that uses the feelings of separation and reunion to write about the rise and fall of the world.

Relatively speaking, there are fewer tourists in the Three Caves. Maybe it is because they are all cemeteries. But the scenery is good and there are many trees. It is suitable for a stroll inside. The timid ones can go in groups.

The tombstone of Confucius and his descendants is located here. All descendants of Confucius can be buried here.

The Konglin is the cemetery of the descendants of the Kong family. More than 100,000 descendants of Confucius are buried here. On April 2, 2016, the whole family took a sightseeing bus to visit the Konglin.

Compared with the Confucius Temple and the Confucius Mansion, the Konglin is the least interesting place. It takes 1,500 meters from the Confucius Mansion to the Konglin. You can take a tricycle to get there. It costs 10 yuan. You can also take a tourist bus to get there. But there is still a long way to go after entering the ticket gate of the Konglin. If you don't take a tourist bus, it is recommended not to see all the attractions in the Konglin. I just went to see the tomb of Confucius and the tombs of his son and grandson. I heard from an old aunt that the people of the Kong family will be buried in the Konglin after they die. Think about it, Konglin is really a huge family cemetery! I heard from the tour guide that some of the tombs in the Konglin are tombs on tombs. At least 100,000 people are buried there. There are also traces of many tombstones being smashed.

The sightseeing bus goes around the Confucius Forest from the main gate without stopping. It only explains that the tombs are all the family tombs of the descendants of the Confucius family. Finally, it stops at the cemetery of Confucius, his sons, and grandsons. The parking place is very close to the main gate. If you only visit Confucius' tomb, there is no need to buy a battery car ticket. It seems to be 25.

Apart from the imperial gardens, the only people who have their own cemeteries that have been preserved to this day are Confucius and his descendants.

Konglin is the cemetery of the Kong family. It is so big that we walked to it after visiting the Confucius Temple and the Confucius Mansion for two hours. We thought Konglin was not far away, but we were still very tired. We suggest that you take a car to Konglin after exiting the back door of the Confucius Mansion to avoid the trouble of walking. We saw strange signs and billboards along the way. Nowadays, the descendants of the Kong family are buried without any tombstones or anything like that. There are countless mounds of earth inside.

The Confucius Mansion, Confucius Temple and Confucius Forest are basically together. You can visit them when you go to Qufu.

Itinerary: Konglin is the last itinerary of the Three Kongs. Generally, friends who travel to the Three Kongs choose to buy a package ticket for the Three Kongs. It is the so-called Konglin, Kong Mansion and Confucius Temple. Konglin is the last battle, which is a distance from the Confucius Mansion, about 20 minutes away.

Transportation: If you have bought the scenic area's sightseeing bus, you can queue up directly from the Confucius Mansion to take it. We didn't buy it, and walked directly from the Confucius Mansion. You can also see the scenery on the way and arrive slowly. If you are a young friend, you can walk there. You will pass by a city gate and the old site of a Ming city wall on the way. In addition, there are local people who pull over from the Confucius Mansion. It seems that it costs 10 or 15 yuan per person. We didn't take it. We did it when we came back. It seems to be 20 yuan. They are local unemployed residents. The local government subsidizes everyone and makes caravans for everyone to pull passengers. Generally, it is 10 yuan per person. People are pretty good. Just don't be too low and don't cause conflicts. You can directly pull to Wuma Temple Street in Qufu, the central area.

There is actually nothing in the Confucius Forest. We were too tired to walk with the children, so we took the scenic sightseeing bus for 20 yuan per person. I felt that there was nothing to see. We just passed by some ancient tombs and went to see the tombs of the Kong family. There is not much objectivity in the content, and it is not as good as the essence of the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion. Just take a look at it.

The Confucius Forest feels the least interesting of the three Kongs. Although it is the largest in size, it is a cemetery, so if you go alone in bad weather, it will still feel haunted... Because we were a group of people and followed the tour guide, we only visited a few of Confucius' tombs and returned. The area inside is very large, and there are tourist buses available. The price of a separate ticket is 30 yuan in the off-season and 40 yuan in the peak season.

The cemetery of the Kong family. Not far from the northwest corner of the entrance is Confucius' tomb. If you continue walking inside the village, it becomes very secluded and most people probably won't wander around in the cemetery.

Konglin is where Confucius was buried after his death. It is a very big place!

It is very suitable as a cultural tour. After all, it is a country of Confucianism.

The Konglin, originally called the Forest of the Most Holy One, is located 1.5 kilometers north of Qufu City. It is the cemetery of Confucius and his family. After Confucius died, his disciples buried him on the Sishui River north of Lu City. At that time, it was still a "tomb but not a grave" (no high earth). In the Qin and Han Dynasties, although the grave was built high, there were still only a small number of graves and a few forest keepers. Later, as Confucius' status became increasingly higher, the scale of the Konglin became larger and larger. It was listed on the World Heritage List in December 1994.

Konglin is the family cemetery of Confucius. It is worth seeing the cemeteries of Confucius, Confucius' son Kongli, and Confucius' grandson Zisi. However, what most tour guides will not tell you is that Confucius' cemetery is not the exact place where Confucius was buried. This tomb was built later. In other words, the current Confucius' tomb is just a mound of earth, and there is nothing underneath. Confucius' disciple Zigong is a character I like very much. He mourned for Confucius for three years and then another three years. There is also Zigong's hand-written Kai (jie), but unfortunately he was struck by lightning and died in the Ming Dynasty.

When you come to Qufu, you must visit the "Three Kongs". It would be incomplete without any one of them. In fact, it is more appropriate to call Konglin the Kongling. They are all the tombs of Confucius' descendants. It looks a bit gloomy and has a large area, with tombstones everywhere.

The place where Confucius and his family are buried feels a bit gloomy!

The ancestral tomb of the Kong family is full of stone tablets and tombs. The three-kong ticket allows you to walk out of the city after visiting the Kong Mansion. If you don't mind the smell, you can take a horse-drawn carriage. There is an electric car inside to take you around, with explanations.

The resting place of saints, learn about Chinese traditional culture.

The tombs of the Kong family have been there for thousands of years, and those who meet the requirements are still buried here. The most famous of these is naturally the tomb of Confucius. The Konglin is very large and not very attractive, so it is recommended to take a battery car to visit.

Confucius Forest did not take a close look, but just looked at Confucius' tomb and walked around it, hoping that the teacher would rest in peace.

There are only a few major attractions in Konglin, and they are all quite important. The others are mostly tombs of Ming, Qing, Republic of China, and this dynasty. If you want to go, I recommend you only go to the major attractions.
