The Confucian temples : Among many preserved Confucian temples of different dynasties all over China, the Confucian Temple in Qufu is the largest and earliest one. It represents the culture and history of Confucianism. The Confucian Temple, Confucian Mansion and Confucian Woods are called Three Confucians, which are now one of the four extant great architectural complexes in China.

Confucian Mansion: It is also called Yanshenggong Mansion, a large house consisting of 463 halls, rooms, towers and houses, covering an area of 13.3 hectares-the largest landlord manor in China's history. The courtyard is divided into three family temples. The main building in the center was first used as a government office then changed to dwelling house later. A typical feudal aristocrat manor.

Confucian Family Cemetery: It is the graveyard of the Confucian family and has a history of more than 2340 years. There are about ten thousand tombs inside the graveyard. Also many stone steles, lanes and pavilions can be found here. The tomb passage is 1266 meters long with dense forest on both sides which were planted in Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Mount Tai's status as the first among China's five sacred mountains originates in mythology. After the death of Pan Gu, creator of the universe in Chinese mythology, his head was turned into Mount Tai and the mountain became the leader of the five sacred mountains. As every Chinese knows, it is at Mount Tai that human culture and nature are most perfectly and harmoniously blended. It has been worshipped by people since antiquity, and regarded as the symbol of social stability and national unity. A saying about the Chinese people goes that "If Mount Tai is at peace, the whole country is at peace." It was the only mountain in China where ancient emperors offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth. Seventy--two emperors and sovereigns went to Mount Tai, meeting with royalty and nobles, bestowing high ranks, and making inscriptions on stone tablets.  Men of letters made pilgrimages here, composing impromptu poems and writing inscriptions. There are over 20 complexes of ancient architecture and over 2. 200 stone tablets and steles on Mount Tai, making the mountain "first under the sun."  It has always been a source of inspiration for artists and scholars.
