Pingtung Tutorial Academy & Zhaoyang Gate

Founded in the 20th year of Emperor Jiaqing's reign (1815), Pingtung Tutorial Academy is the only traditional academy surviving in Pingtung County. In the Japanese colonial period, the academy was transformed into a Confucius Temple. In front of the temple there is a huge screen wall, Jiu Ren Gong Qiang. Inside the temple there is a very well-designed construction pattern with the front hall, back hall, an east wing and a west wing with rooms on two sides of the front hall and also in the back hall. It is now listed as a national monument. Zhaoyang Gate is also known as the East Gate of Ahou City (Ahou is the old name for Pingtung). During Emperor Daoguang's reign, the government and the public worked together to build the four gates of Ahou City Wall. However, during the Japanese colonial period, the West North, and South Gates were torn down so roads could be improved. Now, Zhaoyang Gate, located in Zhongshan Park, is the only remaining gate of Ahou city.
