A fast food, self service chain store. You can find it anywhere as the big red with white Chinese wording signboard is large enough for you to find. Thou patrons a lot yet gives you more time to choose from the menu overhead while you are in a queue. After you have paid for the food, proceed to sideway and take your bowl of transparent noodle. Well, if you dare to take solidified duck's blood and intestine, go ahead...
The pumpkin cake doesn't taste as nice as I had expected.
China's dynasties increasingly came to rely on a huge cadre of officials that administered the country for the emperor. The country quickly standardised an education system for potential officials that culminated in a formal examination. This eaxmination required an incredible amount of study and knowledge, and set the scene for today's focus on education. The system encouraged rote learning and memorization of texts, poems, literature and a whole range of classics; this rote system remains the prime system of education in China right into university, with very mixed outcomes for the success of China.
The Jiangnan Examination Centre - misleadingly called the Examination School - is a fascinating insight into the way that the scholars sat these exams. Each had a tiny stall where he would remain until the examination was finished - days later.
Sadly, like so much of China's built heritage, most of the structure has been rebuilt - not clearly explained to visitors. This recreation of heritage works well for Chinese visitors, but many foreigners are disappointed; it's a disappointment that the visitor will need to live with in China!
The Jiangnan Examination Centre is an interesting place, however, with plenty of explanations of the system, although you will need a guide if you do not speak or read Chinese.
This museum commemorates the anti-dynastic Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Rebellion of 1851-64. The building was used by one of the rebellion's leaders while one section originally belonged to the first Ming emperor, Hongwu. The museum exhibits seals, coins, weapons and texts that describe the Taiping laws.
Admission: Y15.
