Tengzhou

Tengzhou is a county-level city in southern Shandong, in Zaozhuang prefecture. It lies on the sites of the Zhou-period states of Teng and Xue, whose old city walls survive nearby. The city claims the philosopher Mozi and the master carpenter Lu Ban as natives, and both are honoured with museums there.
