Imperial College In Beijing | China（北京 - 国子监）
Also translated as Imperial College, Beijing Imperial Academy was first established in 1306. It served as the supreme administrative headquarters for the organization of education and the highest seat of learning during the Yuan(1271-1368), Ming(1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Flanked by the Temple of Confucius and Yonghe Lamasery, it is located at 15 Guozijian Street (originally named Chengxian Street). Being the imperial college, Guozijian attracted much attention from the state, and was rebuilt many times. After two large-scale repairs in the Ming Dynasty, and the construction of Biyong Hall in the Qing Dynasty, it became what we see today, covering an area of 37,000 sq meters (44,250 sq yard). It is the last imperial academy in China and has been listed as an important cultural relic site under state-level protection.
