The Temple and Cemetery of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion in Qufu, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, declared the reduction in ticket price from 150 yuan to 140 yuan per ticket and launched four new types of combined ticket with other scenic spots. Those three sites are collectively known in Qufu as San Kong, i.e. "The Three Confucian sites".

The new ticket prices will come into service from June 1 this year.

“Repeated usage of the ticket of the Confucian cultural tourism scenic area will be allowable for a 7-day period.” Li Dongfang, deputy director of Shandong Provincial Price Bureau on the press conference held in Jinan yesterday.

Confucian cultural tourism scenic area is expected to cooperate with other four scenic spots, which are Nishan Temple of Confucius and Nishan Academy, Temple of Yan Hui, Shao Hao Tomb and Shou Qiu historical site and the Temple of Duke Zhou, to sell combined ticket in “San Kong+X” pattern. The combined ticket includes patterns of “3+1”, “3+2”, “3+3” and “3+4”, among which “3+1” means ticket of Temple and Cemetery of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion and one of the four combined scenic spots, and the rest may be deduced by analogy. The price of “3+1” ticket will be reduced from 200 yuan to 170 yuan; the price of “3+2” ticket will be reduced from 250 yuan to 190 yuan; the price of “3+3” ticket will be reduced from 300 yuan to 200 yuan; and the price of “3+4” ticket will be reduced from 350 yuan to 210 yuan.

Yang Xiaodong said Mount Ni, the site of Nishan Temple of Confucius and Nishan Academy, is traditionally regarded as the birthplace of Confucius. Temple of Yan Hui is a temple in Qufu dedicated to Yan Hui, the favorite disciple of Confucius. The Shao Hao Tomb and Shou Qiu historical site is the tomb of Shao Hao (the son of the Yellow Emperor) and the purported birthplace of the legendary Yellow Emperor. Temple of Duke Zhou is the ancestor temple of Lu (state) during the Spring and Autumn period.
