The tourism drive in Qufu got an unprecedented boost in 2013. During a visit by President Xi Jinping to Qufu he expressed his wish for China to embrace its traditional culture, assisting the country’s development and progress. President Xi hoped Qufu could thus help strengthen the study and promotion of Confucianism.
