One of Sichuan's greatest bargains, a small grotto where several of Langzhong's greatest scholars prepared for examinations. The complex occupies a small pond and temple. In low season, you can have the place all to yourself for a mesmerizing experience. The area is not quite visible from the road; look for a parking turnoff and informational sign.

贡院
A preserved ancient examination hall.

This hall is one where students were examined, and houses a tribute to Langzhong's top scholars.
