Hangzhou's matchmaking holy land.

Wansong Academy is located on Wansong Ridge, Phoenix Mountain, on the southern edge of West Lake. It was first built in the 11th year of the Hongzhi era of the Ming Dynasty (1498) and was once known as Taihe Academy and Fuwen Academy. It was the largest, longest-lasting, and most influential gathering place for literati in Hangzhou during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Great scholars such as Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty and Qi Zhaonan of the Qing Dynasty once lectured here. Yuan Mei, a poet of the Suiyuan Garden, also studied here. When the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors of the Qing Dynasty made their southern tours, they respectively bestowed the plaques "Zhejiang Water Fuwen" and "Lake Mountain Cuixiu".
