Daodong Tutorial Academy was founded in 1857. It is one of the best-preserved old academies in Taiwan. In recent renovations, the pillars and columns have been replaced and the facade restored to the original look. Daodong Academy neighbors Hemei Junior High School and Elementary School. The central hall enshrines Chu Wen-Kung (Chu Hsi) and Kuei Hsing (god of literature), the east wing enshrines the tablets of the contributors for temple renovation, and the west wing enshrines the god of the land. A large section of the log used in the initial construction is also displayed in the garden. The spacious garden is shaded by lush greens; it has become one of the favorite morning and evening exercise grounds for local residents.
