Jiuxian Mountain Architectural Complex

Located on Jiuxian Mountain in Wucun Town, Qufu City, it was originally built during the Ming Dynasty and significantly expanded during the Qing Dynasty. In the eighth year of the Kangxi reign (1669), the Duke of Yansheng, Kong Yuqi, directed the construction of the Bixia Yuanjun Hall, Jade Emperor Summit, and Guanyin Hall on the mountain. Later, there were multiple renovations and expansions, but after weathering the passage of time, only the ruins of the First Heavenly Gate, the Second Heavenly Gate, the stairway to the South Heavenly Gate, and the Queen Mother’s Palace remain.
