In this poetic golden autumn, Nishan Holy Land is offering exclusive discount tickets for Jining residents, sincerely inviting you to join your family and close friends in participating in Nishan’s unique blessing ritual—the Top Scholar Blessing Season—for a wonderful autumn blessing journey.  
With banners and guards leading the way, the “Top Scholar” dressed in magnificent Hanfu stands proudly. Follow the grand parade, walk along the pilgrimage avenue dyed in autumn colors, cross the Erli Gate, stand solemnly before the statue of Confucius, perform the bowing ceremony, pay respects to the ancient master, and pray for good luck.  
The autumn sunset shines on the Destiny Avenue, where blessing plaques on both sides carry countless visitors’ hopes, shining brightly. Hold the brush yourself, solemnly write your wishes on the vermilion plaques, and tie them to both sides of Destiny Avenue. As the breeze passes, the blessing plaques gently chime, their tinkling sound like warm blessings traveling through a thousand years, responding to every sincere wish.  
Step into the Renzhong Hall of the university, in a quiet and elegant atmosphere, hold a brush and calmly copy classic quotes from the Analects. Each stroke is a silent dialogue with the sages; each word lets the wisdom of the classics settle in your heart.  
Wear a Hanfu and transform into an ancient imperial examination candidate, experiencing a highly authentic reproduction of the ancient imperial examination hall. From answering questions, submitting papers to the announcement of results, immerse yourself fully and personally feel the tension and anticipation of “ten years of hard study, one moment on stage.” The top scorer will be crowned “Wen Zhuangyuan” (Top Scholar), dressed in a red robe and golden flower crown, taking commemorative photos symbolizing “winning the championship in one go” and a bright future ahead.  
As night falls by the Holy Water Lake, a feast of sound, light, water, and images slowly unfolds. Accompanied by stirring music, the scene of Confucius lecturing at the Apricot Altar vividly reappears among the mountains and waters. A drone formation rises into the sky, blending with the colorful lights, making the entire performance dreamlike and presenting a breathtaking audiovisual feast.  
Nishan Academy Hotel is built against the mountain, arranged in a traditional courtyard style, with white walls and black tiles peeking through the colorful autumn scenery. Staying here, you can quietly listen to the wind blowing through the bamboo forest and watch the clouds roll by. On a cool autumn night, gather with friends and family in a small courtyard, brew a pot of tea, chat leisurely, and let your body and mind fully relax in the tranquility.  
Nishan Guesthouse Hotel cleverly combines Eastern aesthetics with modern comfort, featuring bright and spacious rooms with wide views. Whether enjoying a sumptuous dinner at the all-day dining restaurant or playing with your children in the family playground, thoughtful service and complete facilities will help you shake off travel fatigue and enjoy a good night’s sleep.
