Changsha | Yuelu Academy: Ancient Wisdom Beneath Yuelu Mountain

#chinatravel Too tired to hike Yuelu Mountain? No worries—snap a photo at Aiwan Pavilion, then head to the base where Yuelu Academy, one of China’s Four Great Ancient Academies, awaits. Founded in 976 AD during the Northern Song, it has weathered dynastic wars, reforms, and revolutions, eventually becoming part of Hunan University. With a serene campus steeped in history, it’s a must-visit for culture lovers. Entry is just ¥40 and no reservation needed off-season—come walk through a thousand years of learning. #changshatravel #yueluacademy #culturalheritage #ancientacademyvibes #travel #china #staycation
