Confucius' hometown hosts study tours

Confucius' descendants are keeping the roving sage's legacy alive by designing study tours for visitors to his hometown, particularly students.

Today, students who visit Shandong province's Qufu can learn the lessons the philosopher himself learned and then taught as he wandered around the states during the Spring and Autumn period (770-476 BC).

His temple, family cemetery and family mansion in Qufu - collectively known as the San Kong - were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1994 and are must-sees for all visitors, including students.
