In this colorful world, there is always a pure land where our hearts can calm and our souls can return. Begin your journey into Chinese classics in this sacred "Birthplace of Confucius"!
Qufu not only has the Confucius Mansion, Confucius Temple, Confucius Forest, and Confucius Museum, but also Nishan Sacred Land. It’s a pity to visit Qufu without going to Nishan Sacred Land.

Nishan Sacred Land is very serene, surrounded by mountains and water. Every corner is filled with a strong sense of historical and cultural atmosphere, making it perfect for family trips.
✅ Must-experience:

2⃣️ “Lighting Your Lamp of Wisdom” (Drone show at night in front of the 72-meter Confucius statue)
As night falls, hundreds of drones gather in formation over Nishan Sacred Land to start a drone Kongming lantern show!
3⃣️ Phoenix Dance at Nishan (Light and water show + fireworks by the Sacred Water Lake)
The fountains at Sacred Water Lake change shapes with the music, accompanied by brilliant fireworks blooming in the dark night sky. The interplay of light, water, and fireworks decorates the night in a dazzling display.
