Built in 976 during the [[Song Dynasty]], '''Yuelu Academy''' survived the Song, [[Yuan]], [[Ming]] and [[Qing]] dynasties, and remains the best preserved of its kind in [[China]]. In 1903, it became the [[Hunan School of Higher Education]], and was renamed [[Hunan University]] in 1926.

The academy's 25,000-sq-m complex, with a floor space of various buildings totaling 7,000 sq. m, is symmetrically laid out, centered on the teaching area. It also has its own [[Confucian Temple]], gardens and pools. For its imposing scale, disciplined layout, and majestic architecture, Yuelu Academy is without parallel in China.

The Yuelu Academy was hailed as one of the top higher learning institutions in ancient China as well as a shrine of [[Confucianism]], [[Buddhism]] and [[Daoism]] simultaneously.
