The family home of Confucius, originally a humble abode, has been developed into a gigantic aristocratic mansion with a total of 152 buildings. Its outstanding artistic and historic character is due to the devotion of successive Chinese emperors over it in the past two thousand years.
The temple and cemetery of Confucius, along with the Kong Family Mansion were inscribed during the 18 session of the World Heritage Committee meeting in Phuket, Thailand, on 12-17 December, 1994.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
