Zhonglou Academy

Step into Zhonglou Academy and be transported to an ancient scholar's paradise! This Wuxi gem dazzles with Ming-era swooping eaves and Qing dynasty examination relics, including authentic plaques of imperial scholars. Climb the triple-tiered bell tower for canal views where sunlight dances through lattice windows, and don't miss rubbing the "Wisdom Stone Qilin"—locals swear it bestows academic luck!
