Fengyi Academy is located next to the Chenghuang Temple in Fenggangli, Fengshan City. It was founded in the 19th year of Jiaqing (1814 AD), when Wu Xingcheng, the magistrate at that time, initiated donations and land donations, and was built by Zhang Tingqin, a candidate for mentoring. There are many special architectural landscapes in the academy, such as the screen wall in front of the gate, the drum stone on both sides of the main gate and the two dragons attached to it. It has various functions such as shrine and free school. At present, the Kaohsiung County Government has listed it as a third-level historic site.
