나주 향교 Naju Hyang-gyo Confucian School

 

This institution has been operational since the mid 15th century and several buildings are extant from the school's founding along with its beautiful 600-year-old ginkgo tree. 

Towering above and behind the academy is majestic Geumseong-san.

Tea grows on this mountain and a visit to a lovely teashop 금성명다원 nearby  to drink tea enlivens the senses for enjoying the spring scenery.
