Qu-fu and Ji-nan City

kongmiao << Temple of Confucius in Qu-fu
The Temple of Confucius is the place for emperors and officers to remember the Saint Person in the old time. But now, it becomes the best tourist destination of Qu-fu. There're lots of stelae and filled with cultural atmosphere. The stele behide me in the photo had been destroyed during the Culture Revolution. Though rebuilt, you could find the crack on it.
¡¡
the House of Confucius >> kongfu
This is the garden attached with the House of Confucius. Behide me, there is a pine tree, which looks like composed of five pine trees. So the name of the tree is "five pines". The House of Confucius was not a tourist place untill the 85th offsprings left there. Now it is the most important touristic place protected by nation.
¡¡
baotuquan 1 << Baotu Spring in Jinan City
Baotu Spring is the 1st of the springs in Jinan and regarded as the symbol of Jinan City. Because of drought, Baotu Spring has stopped springing for almost half a year. But it suddenly restarted springing when we reached there. Maybe it's the gift from God.
¡¡
Shuyu Spring >> shuyuquan
Shuyu Spring is anther famous spring in Jinan, where the famous writer LI Qing-zhao lived. Ms Li, who lived in Song Dynasty, dressed up herself beside the spring and conceived the poems.
daminghu << Daming Lake of Jinan
Daming Lake is famous for water lily. So we specticular chose a place combined water-lily, old house and osiers. How about this place?
