Pingzhou Academy

Located on Ping Island at the confluence of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers, it was funded and built by Wang Debang (from Jianghua County), a famed general in the Sino-French War, and Xi Guanxiang (from Dong’an County). Construction began in the 10th year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty and was completed two years later. From the waterside to the academy gate, there are dozens of stone steps. Upon entering the gate, a central pathway is flanked by osmanthus trees on both sides. The environment is serene, and most commendably, no cars can reach it—you must go by boat.
