The feel of the university is really good. Old colonial buildings on campus. Neat and cool place.

"Xia Da," as the locals call it, is one of the most prestigious and beautiful universities in all of China. It has a distinct history and a stunning campus.

Beautiful, but not fanciful. Limited photo moments, but it's like a national park that you could rest and relax instead of going in with a tourist mindset

You can eat with the students, but have to make special payment arrangements. The Furong Tunnel is a must see for all the beautiful student graffiti.

It is a very beautiful and traditional campus compared to some other universities. The architecture here are from early 1900s so really traditional. Just that I came to here during a tourist season, so the campus suddenly turned into a park!! Full of tourist!! So next time i will come when there are less people

It has a nice pond and the campus is very serene. We did a nice walk around campus and it was a nice escape from the crowded island of Gulangyu.

nice place good for students, clean and beautifull,
