## About Yongjia Academy

Yongjia Academy brings together mountains, water, rocks, forests, shoals and waterfalls, encompassing every scenic feature of the Nanxi River. Its beautiful surroundings resemble a landscape painting. Ancient villages are scattered all around, including Yuzhang Village, home of a single family that produced six jinshi (advanced scholars); Baiquan Village, known for its talented people; Mingao Village, a photography base; and sites associated with the reclusive life of Fan Li and Xi Shi. The cultural heritage here runs deep.
