Imperial Examination Museum of China (Jiangnan Gongyuan) 中国科举博物馆(江南贡院)
Choose the Imperial Examination Museum to understand the pursuit of education, office and status. The subject gives a clear thread through historical objects and spaces, especially if you have been seeing Confucian temples without knowing their social role. Pair it with Qinhuai streets so the museum has a different rhythm from the rest of the afternoon.
