About Yushan Examination Hall (Kaopeng)
Yushan Kaopeng is a Qing-dynasty imperial examination hall of four blue-brick buildings with 100 individual candidate cells in two rows either side of a stone-paved central passage, on more than 2,000 m². It was first built in 1792, rebuilt in 1838 and repaired in 1867, and is described as one of very few such compounds still standing south of the Yangtze. It became a national heritage site in 2019 and draws visitors interested in the imperial examination system.
