Soochow University (Tianci Campus)
苏州大学天赐庄校区
The former site of Soochow University. Its bell tower and red-brick Western-style buildings sit among a large lawn and shady trees, making it Suzhou's most beautiful historic campus.

The campus preserves century-old red-brick Western-style buildings, including the Bell Tower (Lin Hall), Ge Hall and Sun Hall. The large lawn in front of the bell tower is shaded by trees and is a popular photo spot in Suzhou.
