The Dongpo Academy is in Zhonghe, Danzhou, Hainan. When Su Shi (Su Dongpo) was banished to Danzhou late in life, he often taught and met friends at the Zaijiu Hall built by local friends, and the academy was later founded here in his memory. Within are the Zaijiu Pavilion and Hall and a statue of Dongpo, with coconut palms and banyans shading the courtyards.
