Qufu is the hometown of Confucius, the great thinker and educator in ancient China. It is the source of world-famous Confucianism, the root of Confucianism, and the birthplace of Confucianism. It has magnificent ancient buildings and numerous precious cultural relics.

Located in the southwest of Shandong Province, it is bounded by Taidai in the north, Fuyi in the south, Yimeng Mountains in the east, Pingye Qianchou in the west, Sishui River in the north and Yihe River in the south. It is one of the first 24 historical and cultural cities announced by the State Council.

Want to test how high your IQ is?

Let’s go to Qufu!

This is a place full of challenges and "struggles"!

There is an advertising slogan: Challenges are everywhere!

Let’s talk about a few things to pay attention to to enhance your IQ and combat effectiveness!

1) When entering the city, get off the highway and you will immediately be greeted by enthusiastic Qufu people!

As soon as their car sees foreign license plates entering the city (I drove there by myself), they will immediately "intercept" them and send a tour guide over, saying that for the convenience of tourists, the Municipal Tourism Bureau will wait here for service and help.

We browse all the sights in Qufu and only charge a tour guide fee of 30 yuan!

You read that right, they are known as full tour guides for only 30 yuan!

Look carefully at her tour guide certificate, there is no flaw, and you confirm it carefully. It is indeed only 30 yuan, so you have no reason to refuse. At that time, you didn't know the road, so let her guide you. It will only cost 30 yuan.

So the performance started. She first told us that parking in the city is difficult and the fees are high. She could help us park for free. I asked her to take us to the Confucius Temple first. She agreed and quickly entered a parking lot and said yes.

When we arrived at the Confucius Temple, Confucius’ Thatched Cottage was right in front. Let us buy tickets with her. The two eldest sisters who were traveling with her went to buy tickets with her. After I got off the car, I felt that the building was not very antique. I was confused, so I ran to the door to look and found that

On the gate, it actually says "Confucius City of Six Arts"!

Ho!

You actually lied to me like this!

I quickly went to the door and bought a map. After a closer look, I saw that the Confucius Temple was not far away. What kind of Confucius Temple was this?

I went to find the tour guide, and she was already holding the tickets for our group of Six Arts City with a glowing face. They cost 60 yuan each.

I bowed first and then asked her (because in Liuyi City, I was afraid of the crowd), and told her that we were very pressed for time and wanted to see the Confucius Temple, Confucius Forest and Confucius Mansion first, and then come here at a convenient time. Can I refund the ticket first?

Lose?

!

When she saw that I had discovered it, she had to go through the refund procedures because the header of the ticket had not yet been torn off.

I told her again that I checked on the Internet and there is actually nothing here. If you want to introduce us to play, there is no way to cheat!

She argued for a few words and successfully took us to the Confucius Temple.

Be careful on road signs and ticket sales points to prevent counterfeiting!

Especially the parking lots, many of which are private!

2) After getting off the bus, I went to the ticket hall to buy tickets. Taking advantage of the tour guide who was following us unprepared, I quietly asked the ticket-buying lady inside, why is this tour guide so cheap?

The eldest sister also told me very carefully, please pay attention, it can't be so cheap anyway!

Ah!

It feels a bit like an underground party joint, which shows how crazy those wild leaders are.

After a while, the wild guide brought a girl and said that she would explain the Confucius Temple to us. I took this opportunity and asked her to give us something in writing, writing down the tour guide license number, name, and tourist attractions and other service contents.

Add the price again!

Looking at their panicked eyes, I felt more confident. They called me for a while and finally replied: Since you don't believe me, forget it. If you are willing to pay a high price, you can do whatever you want!

Ah!

There is nothing these people can do!

Successfully deactivated a "ticking time bomb"!

In fact, these people will use any means to take you to some man-made attractions to let you shop and spend money. They take you to see the sights, with the purpose of maximizing your consumption, and the money they earn is kickbacks!

There are a lot of such wild guides in Qufu, and people are constantly making noises, so be vigilant at all times!

You can completely skip the tour guide and listen behind other large groups. The effect will be the same!

Many regular tour guides also let you spend money within the attractions!

3) Talk about shopping!

In the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion, there are stalls everywhere and it’s a mess!

The "specialty" products in the attractions are seals, fans and sundries. The prices vary wildly. I did some research on a seal of the same size and found that the most expensive one was 80 yuan, and I only spent 10

Yuan.

The locals are very good at scheming tourists. You should also pay attention to your method when bargaining, because the locals are easy to curse and pick on others.

Be careful when purchasing here. There are many fortune tellers, so don’t believe them!

4) Let’s talk about eating. The special fruit is Xinmei radish, the special snack is big pancakes, and the special snack is Kongfuli’s cakes. It tasted good at the time, but those cakes were not easy to preserve. I bought a lot and went home.

Later, they rated it as the worst food I have bought in these years!

The Confucius Banquet dishes at Queli Hotel were really good. We were a little late when we went there and we didn’t taste a few of the big dishes. They have to be ordered in advance. The hotel’s software and hardware are first-rate in the area!

However, there is a pirated version of "Queli Binshe Takeaway" next to it.

There are many local restaurants, and most of them have names like Kong's Home Cuisine.
