Cose da fare a Ningyang

The walk between Confucius Temple and Kong Family Mansion is so awe-inspiring that I did not have enough time to visit the Cemetery of Confucius (Kong Lin). Imagine going back through time 2,500 years ago. This is also a must see & must do attraction.

La guida ufficiale, il signor Li, è stata eccellente e ha sicuramente arricchito la nostra esperienza al Tempio di Confucio! Essendo terminato il periodo delle vacanze estive, non c'erano molti turisti, il che ha reso l'esperienza davvero piacevole. Il signor Li parlava con voce pacata e gentile, rendendo le spiegazioni molto accessibili, e i contenuti erano ricchi e interattivi. Consigliatissimo!

曲阜孔府基本上是明清两代的建筑，包括厅、堂、楼、轩等，共九进院落，是一座典型的中国贵族门户之家，有号称“天下第一人家”的说法。是孔子嫡系长子长孙居住的府地，孔府于明洪武十年（1377年）始建。规模宏大，占地240亩，是典型的封建社会衙宅合一建筑。

孔林，本称至圣林，位于山东省济宁市曲阜市城北1.5公里处，是孔子及其后裔的家族墓地。它始建于东周鲁哀公十六年（公元前479年），历经2500余年的发展，现已形成占地约2平方公里的宏大园林，是世界上延续时间最长、规模最大、保存最完整的氏族墓地。孔林不仅是一处庄严的陵园，也是一座拥有丰富文化内涵的“自然博物馆”和“孔氏家族的编年史”。

I have made it in 4:59 minutes the fastest record of a Moroccan and a foreign citizen in 2026 made history by climbing 20k stairs! 🗽🇲🇦

Impressive and spacious theme park. Awesome performance and truly value for money.

Amazing experience for adults seeking to learn more about the Confucianism. The only cons is that I wouldn’t recommend it for kids aged from 2 to 5 years old, as the place lacks of playground areas.

Millennium City Park (清明上河园) in Kaifeng is remarkable because it is a living reconstruction of the Northern Song capital, Bianjing, (Bianjing (汴京) was the old name for Kaifeng), inspired by the famous scroll Along the River During the Qingming Festival. With authentic Song‑style architecture, immersive performances, and cultural activities, the park makes visitors feel as though they have stepped directly into a painting. As the saying goes: If you have not visited this park, you have not truly visited Kaifeng, the capital of six dynasties.Ticket price: RMB 120Senior discount: Half price Transport: Bus No. 15 from the Gulou areaValidity: Tickets are valid for three consecutive days, with facial recognition used for entry.The performances are the heart of the experience. Upon entering, the first stop should be the information counter to collect a brochure and confirm the day’s schedule. Seating is limited, so arriving at least an hour early ensures a good view.We managed to watch the following daytime shows:《枪挑小梁王》 Spearing the Prince of Liang《包公出巡》 Judge Bao Goes on Patrol《东京保卫战》 Dongjing Defense Battle《杨门女将》 Female Generals of the Yang Family《群狮会》 Gathering of Lions《欢乐巡游季》 Joyful Parade SeasonThese productions feature pyrotechnics, mass choreography, explosions, smoke, martial horse battles, and performers in full armor with sword and spear combat. The immersive realism was breathtaking — my heart nearly leapt out when the cannon fire began. The overarching theme of these shows is patriotism, and the authorities have succeeded brilliantly in using performance art as a form of mass education.The park is vast, and at times it feels like China’s version of Disneyland. Yet the focus here is not fantasy but cultural immersion. Walking through the grounds is like entering a living museum of Song‑era streets, bridges, food stalls, and performances. Traditional crafts, lion dances, and Justice Bao patrols connect directly to Kaifeng’s heritage.

颜庙是为了纪念颜回所建，是免费景点，从孔庙东门出来后走十分钟就到；入口前的牌坊是明朝的，陋巷井的历史更悠久，乐亭和复圣殿虽是重建但还原性很好，而且上初中的孩子上个学期刚学过写颜回的一篇古文，所以体验感很好，总体还是值得一去

来得较晚，没想到还是赶上了末班船。灯光秀与讲解相得益彰，还是有些新意的，两岸的灯光也很好看，球形影院、岸边歌舞都很不错！
