Qufu: Confucius' birthplace and historic home
Share - WeChat


I looked down to the gardens and pavilions bordering the Yi River across which lay a park that caught my attention. Presenting a mixture of classical Chinese gardens, as seen for example in Suzhou, it combined small temples, traditional gateways and rock sculpting above pools. Indeed I assumed correctly that it looked like an excellent location for photography. Nearby stood inspiring modern architecture, constructed in the Qufu style, enclosing both a theater and an art museum.
