## Why go

Very much related to the neighbouring Confucius Temple in that the studies and exams were conducted in the Confucian tradition. Displays documenting the history of the imperial exams system and the lives of students. Pleasant courtyard, slightly quieter than that of the temple. Open until 18:00 in summer (May–October), 5pm in winter; last admittance 30 minutes before closing.
