The China Imperial Examination System Museum(中国科举博物馆)

Finally we found the Museum after our driver asked around the local people. The place is side by side with the other attraction Huilong Pond.

We bought the combined ticket which covered both attractions ie the Museum and "Fahua Pagoda". It only cost RMB20 per person to cover both attractions. If only enter the Museum the ticket fee is also RMB20 so might as well buy the combined ticket. At first daddy still struggled whether there was enough time to cover both or not. However, looking at the price even if we could not cover both also we do not lose anything.

There were 3 stone bridges to enter the Confucius temple. We took lots of photo on this bridge.




There were two buildings beside the temple that showcased the history of Imprerial Examination and the Chinese literature history. When Ethan entered the building, he said "air con". Yes, it was really hot outside. Eventhough the sky was getting dark because it seems like wanted to rain. We could hear roaring distance thunder. We felt good entering the exhibition building.







Ethan sweat a lot and was tired during the visit.
