22 Aug - Departing from Weifang train station to Taishan (泰山) via Dongche. Our plan was to concur the Taishan mountain.
Train Station
Dongche
Upon reaching Tai-an town, weather was bad that day, it rains heavily in the morning and we are forced to cancel our trip to Taishan mountain.
Thus, we had changed our plan to visit Confucius Museum and San Kong (三孔 - 孔庙，孔府，孔林) Confucius Temple, Confucious Residence and Confucious Tombs. Thus we took a cab and traveled some 75 Kilometers from Taishan to Qufu (曲阜) where Confucius was borned and where Confucius Museum and San Kong are located.
