Qufu- The Hometown of Confucius

Before you hear China, you probably heard Confucianism earlier, so this is where everything began.

The Hometown of Confucius, which means he was born here, and this place holds a lot of special gates built by different emperors in ancient Chinese history. 

The Confucius Temple, The Confucius House and The Cemetery are the highlights of this small city which keeps a quite different life style than the Southern cities.
