One of the Three Great Academies of Guangdong | Jieyang Academy

As a Cantonese, it was my first visit to Jieyang, and I found this small city to be quite nice, with a warm climate, affordable prices, and plenty of snacks. The first stop is to go to the must-visit Jieyang Academy in Jieyang, which is one of the three great academies in Guangdong. It was founded during the Southern Song Dynasty and has a long history with profound cultural heritage. The architecture here mainly combines the Ming and Qing architectural styles with the unique building style of Jieyang, giving it an ancient and classic charm, with exquisite wood carvings. The most beautiful time is at sunset, when the soft golden light falls on the vermilion walls, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. I happened to encounter a young lady dressed in Hanfu taking photos, so I snapped a few pictures. The outfit and the architecture complement each other perfectly, as if she had really stepped out of ancient times.
