Huazhou Academy, Henan: A thousand-year-old courtyard with endless music.

Address: Renmin East Road, Dengzhou, Nanyang. Not many people may know about it. It's not as famous as the four major ancient academies in China, Songyang Academy, Bailudong Academy, Yuelu Academy, and Yingtianfu Academy. However, when it comes to Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower", it must be familiar to the ear. Although Huazhou Academy is not as famous as the four major academies, it is also a very influential higher education institution in ancient China. Huazhou Academy is the birthplace of "Yueyang Tower" and a garden-style building with bamboo and cypress trees and pavilions. It was the Huazhou Academy founded by Fan Zhongyan when he was in charge of Dengzhou. It's worth a visit to feel the feelings of the ancients!
