I know that the sites are very sacred for the Chinese so visiting Confuscious' Temple and Burial grounds were a huge honor. I enjoyed seeing the sprawling mansions that have hosted China's emperors for thousands of years. I found it very interesting that men and women, especially the servants, were kept in separate living quarters.

My favorite part of the day, however, was going up the cable car to Mount Tai. Until this visit, I always felt surrounded by so many people and buildings It was nice to be above it all and gain some perspective. The view was beautiful and the small village was quaint, all in all, a perfect trip.
