In Kunshan, there is such a place -- kun Opera School.
Located in Xibang, between Yangcheng Lake and Kuihu Lake in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, it is not only the site of the Chodun Culture Ruins from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties but also the former location of Yushan’s 24 scenic spots, as well as the residence of Gu Aying, a famous playwright of the Yuan Dynasty. Kunqu Opera, the ancestor of all operas, was born here.
In order to preserve this precious cultural memory, inherit and promote the intangible cultural heritage of Kunqu Opera and its unique features, the Kunshan Municipal Government decided to build Kunqu opera club here.

The academy regularly hosts public performances and events, making it an important platform for promoting and inheriting Kunqu opera, and advancing the development of rural culture in Kunshan.
