    "Confucius Temple, you can not go. Confucius Temple, you can go. Confucius Mansion, you can go. Only go to one, just the Confucius Temple. Be sure to ask a tour guide. But whether you can meet good, you can only rely on luck. We are the tour guide invited into the scenic spot. Four people, three holes, the total cost is 300. Accompanied us for more than 3 hours. It's normal, the attractions are not complete."
