Tsinghua University
清华大学
The Tsinghua Garden of this century-old university. The Second Gate, Tsinghua Xuetang, the Great Hall, and the Lotus Pond by Moonlight are the defining sights of a campus visit.
Tsinghua University grew out of Tsinghua Xuetang and occupies the sites of the Qing-dynasty gardens Xichun Yuan and Jinchun Yuan. Key attractions for visitors include the Second Gate, Tsinghua Xuetang, the Great Hall, the old Library building, and other red-brick structures, as well as the lotus pond known as 'Lotus Pond by Moonlight' and the Shuimu Tsinghua area. Visitors from outside the university must book through the school's official reservation platform under their real name. Holiday slots are limited and must be secured early. Enter with your ID through designated gates such as the West Gate. The campus is large, so it's best to rent a shared bike or walk for about 2 hours. It is accessible from Yuanmingyuan Station on Metro Line 4 or from the West Exit of Qinghua East Road Station on Line 15.
