Former Anhui University Red Building & Jingfu Academy
安徽大学红楼及敬敷书院旧址
The former site of Jingfu Academy, the highest institution of learning in Qing-dynasty Anhui, and of National Anhui University in the Republican era. The Red Building represents Anqing's time as the provincial capital of Anhui.
Anqing served as the seat of the Anhui provincial government for a long period, from the Qianlong era of the Qing dynasty until 1938. Jingfu Academy was the highest seat of learning in Qing-dynasty Anhui, and National Anhui University was founded here in 1928. The main building is known as the 'Red Building' because of its red brick exterior. The site now lies within the old campus of Anqing Normal University. It is a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit, and visitors can see teaching buildings and campus scenery from the Republican era. Entering the campus requires following the university's rules, and opening arrangements follow the school's schedule. It can be toured together with the other former provincial capital buildings in the old town.
