Qufu, East China's Shandong Province is the birthplace of Confucius and boasts of three major tourist attractions, "Mansion, Temple and Cemetery of Confucius".
Another site "Six-talent city of Confucius" is also worth visiting.
The attraction was launched in 1993 and the six talents represent the six aspects which Confucius held the dearest in his life: ritual, music, archery, charioteering, literature and numbers. Accordingly, the city is divided into six sections, each as a unique way to worship Confucius' heritage.
1. Ritual
In this section, tourists can first see the huge bronze statues of Confucius traveling with some of his favorite pupils to the different kingdoms.
