Imperial Academy (Guozijian)
No.13 Guozijian Street, Beijing, ChinaAbout
Imperial Academy (ÃÂ¥ÃÂýÃÂ¥ÃÂÃÂçÃÂÃÂ; GuÃÂózÃÂÃÂjiàn), (Immediately to west of Confucius Temple). The academy was the highest level college and location of examinations for the civil service in Imperial China. 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. CNY 30 includes admission to Confucius Temple.
