Confucius Six Arts City
孔子六艺城
A cultural park themed on Confucius' Six Arts of ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics, with costumed performances and hands-on activities. Good for families with children.
The Confucius Six Arts City lies south of Qufu's city center, north of the Confucius Museum. It was built in the 1990s and was one of Qufu's earlier theme attractions. The park is divided into zones for the six arts: ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. It includes wax figures of Confucius' life, bronze bell music and dance, and interactive archery and chariot activities, along with scheduled period-style performances. The facilities are somewhat dated, so it suits families with children and study groups better. Admission is about ¥60, and allow about 2 hours. A taxi from the south gate of the Ming-era old city takes about 5 minutes.
