What to See
Temple of Mencius - three turtles - P1050884 - Ancient tablet-bearing stone turtles (bixi) in the Temple of Mencius
The temple and mansion of the ancient philosopher Mencius, perennially known as China's "Second Sage" (after Confucius). They are on the south side of the city, perhaps a mile's walk from downtown. The two sites (adjacent to each other, and visitable on a single ticket) are similar in their architecture, sculpture and landscaping to the "First Sage's" facilities in Qufu, but are much less crowded.
It is often said that if your family name is Meng (i.e., you are the sage's feasible descendant), admission is free; however, this is not the case.
