Jiang Nan Imperial Examination Court
Jiang Nan Imperial Examination Court, situated on the bank of Qinhuai River and approaching to the Confucius Temple, is the largest imperial examination court in ancient China. It covers an area of 300,000 sq. m. starting from Yaojia Lane in the east and ending at Gongyuan Street West.
