Hello Diana, In Qufu, there are great variety of restaurants in the eastern part of the old walled city, a block or two east of Gulou Ave (the main north-south street of the old city).
Here you would have the chance to try Halal food, fresh produce, tofu, baked goods, etc. There is Muslim neighborhood: Xiguan St that runs west from the old city's west gate.
Please note, most restaurants you will easily find have marked up prices due to the tourist nature of the city. Beware asking cab-drivers or "wooden cab" drivers as they seem to receive kickbacks. You can expect to pay at least 100CNY more or less, getting a meal for two if you are not careful and save.

Hi Mr. Thompson! Thanks for your question. Yes, this is where Confucius was born more than 25 hundred years ago. There are several sites related to Confucius and Confucianism, such as the Confucius Temple, Confucius Grove and Confucius Six Art City, etc. Welcome to Qufu, Shandong!
