Museum of ancient scholars

Xiuning was the home of many top students during imperial times.

When visiting Huangshan Mountain in Huangshan city, Anhui province, take a side trip to the city's Xiuning county, where you can enjoy traditional Chinese culture, green mountains and authentic Anhui cuisine.

An attraction in the county, which is 18 kilometers from downtown Huangshan, is the Museum of the Number One Scholars. It chronicles the history of the imperial examination system in ancient China and exhibits antiques such as the scholar's red robe and hat, inscribed boards and original examination questions and answers.
