User Reviews

By Autumn |

The ginkgo forest of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is really beautiful. Even if I took the wrong road, I insisted on coming to this school, not only to see the ginkgo, but also for a complex that has lasted for many years. When I stepped into the campus of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, I had an indescribable feeling. It was like touching a hazy dream, but I was a little confused whether it was in a dream or in reality. Walking under the ginkgo road, feeling the autumn leaves, I was looking forward to a long-awaited reunion, or a beautiful first meeting, either one was fine. After walking for such a long time in the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, it got dark. Finally, a complex that had lasted for many years was opened, and the feeling in my heart was a bit complicated. If I was alone at the time, I would find a place to sit down and stay quietly for a while.

The Ginkgo Festival at the Shahe Campus of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China has been held annually since 2012. It can be reached by taking Metro Line 6 at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China Jianshe North Road Station. However, since the outbreak of the epidemic, non-teachers and students of the school are not allowed to enter the campus at will. During the Ginkgo Festival, you need to scan the code to make an appointment to enter, which is very inconvenient.

It is said that there was a Ginkgo Festival. I took a taxi there with great expectations, but found that there were only a few trees standing alone. No, it was very lively, full of people! I took a lot of photos of the trees! I strolled around casually.

By Happy You and Me |

Beautiful, worth a visit. The guard always checks and asks a few questions.

By HiPP Pink Pig |

I am proud of my alma mater! I am proud of my alma mater! I am proud of my alma mater!

By Elaine |

Walking around the campus, I was greeted by the atmosphere of an engineering school.

In autumn, the Ginkgo Forest of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is a great place to enjoy ginkgo trees in Chengdu.

University of Electronic Science and Technology of China also has a Shahe campus, but it is an old campus and sounds particularly familiar.

What’s amazing is that the other campus is called Qingshuihe.

By Leaves fall all over the mountain |

Attractions like University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and Sichuan University are a personal work sentiment. If you don’t like them, you can skip them because they are not attractions with rich content for tourists.

By @Muyudiewu |

University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is one of the key universities in Chengdu. In late autumn, it presents a beautiful scenery with golden ginkgo leaves dancing all over the campus. It has become a famous place for photographing ginkgo in Chengdu.

By Bai Xubo |

The falling ginkgo leaves of my alma mater in late autumn have long become a scene in Chengdu.

By Blossoming |

You have to choose the right time to see the ginkgo, there must be sunshine, then the leaves are golden yellow

By Small, living forest |

Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology is one of the most famous schools in China. I didn't go inside this time, but only visited the food street around the school. I learned about the food around Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology because of "Day Day Up". When I went to Chengdu, I wanted to find food there even more. There are really many delicious foods and many students lined up. It is still worth going.

The autumn is the busiest time for the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, with many people coming to see the ginkgo trees. The ginkgo leaves on the ground form a thick layer, which makes a "crunching" sound when you step on them. When the wind blows, the leaves on the branches slowly fall, making you feel like you are in a poetic and picturesque environment.

The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is extremely beautiful in autumn!

By Boss, give me a bottle of Nutri-Express |

My university, where I spent seven years, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China

By Book Flight |

The most famous food here is the snacks near the Wanren Apartment. Fifth Avenue gathers many famous snacks in Chengdu. Friends who come to Chengdu for food should not miss it~ When the ginkgo leaves turn yellow in autumn, the scenery of USTC is also great!

By Unemployed |

I studied here for several years, all in the old campus. There was no new campus at that time.

By Consumption |

The ginkgo leaves are yellow, there are so many people, some are here to take wedding photos

By Jasmine |

The campus is very large, and the most lush thing is the trees. I like the feeling of the green trees on both sides of the avenue.

By Gull's |

We went there on November 29th. It was not as good as we had imagined. We were a little disappointed. We did not expect so many ginkgo leaves. There were so many people there, all of whom came to take pictures. It did not feel like a school at all. Some people brought tents and children to sit on the lawn for a picnic.

By Don't ask me to spoil the emperor |

How can I not love the place where I have spent four years of my passion?

By Xiao Haohao |

Both the early spring and golden autumn of Chengdu University of Technology are very beautiful. The rapeseed fields in early spring and the ginkgo avenue in golden autumn are very beautiful.

The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is the top university in Sichuan, especially in the field of communication electronics. The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China has two campuses, one on Jianshe Road (Shahe Campus) and one on Xiyuan Avenue in the High-tech West District (Qingshuihe Campus). The main buildings of the two campuses are almost the same in style, except that the main building of the Qingshuihe Campus is more imposing.

I like the school landscape lights the most when they are on, reflecting the lake, which is absolutely wonderful, but they are usually turned on during holidays and when school starts. The entire school is large, well-greened, and has beautiful scenery. In September, when the school starts, the campus is filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. There is a large sweet-scented osmanthus forest near the main building and the activity center. When the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, the grounds under the trees are covered with broken sweet-scented osmanthus petals. At the end of October and the beginning of November, when the ginkgo leaves turn yellow, everything is golden, and against the backdrop of the sun, it is beautiful. The school also has an unwritten rule that the fallen leaves will not be swept during the season when the ginkgo leaves fall until the winter is almost over. I like to pick a sunny afternoon, lean against the ginkgo tree to read, and play with the fallen leaves when I am tired. During this season, the school is completely a park on weekends, and many people drive here to enjoy the ginkgo. In the twelfth lunar month, there is the fragrance of wintersweets, and during the graduation season, the whole campus is filled with the fragrance of gardenias~

The sports facilities of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China are very good. There are several gymnasiums, and the swimming pool is the best in the southwest region. There is an indoor swimming pool with a constant temperature, a standard swimming pool, and a practice swimming pool. It costs 12 yuan per time for students of the school, 24 yuan per time for teachers, and 40 yuan per time for outsiders. You need to go to the school hospital for a physical examination and then apply for a swimming card before you can enter.

It is also very convenient to go shopping at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Longhu Times Paradise Walk is diagonally opposite the west gate. There is a supermarket on the underground first floor, and restaurants are concentrated on the third and fourth floors. In addition, there is an IMAX screen in the cinema on the fifth floor, which feels great. There is also a fruit market outside the second south gate, which is full of fresh fruits and very convenient.

The administration building is super impressive as soon as you enter the door! I heard from Liuli that there should be a gymnasium that was built not long ago to the south, but I didn't go around to see it. Walking in from the road on the right side of the administration building is Ginkgo Avenue, but because it is still late spring and early summer, it feels like just an ordinary tree-lined avenue. Liuli said that the whole road will be golden in autumn, so exciting! Turning right, we arrived at the artificial lake of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. The scenery on the lake is quite good. There are also meter marks on the running track by the lake for reference for those who run. The buildings of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China have the usual grand features of science and engineering schools, and several teaching buildings are domineering. In contrast, the student dormitories with reddish-brown or apricot exterior walls have a more literary atmosphere.

University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is a relatively awesome science and engineering university. If translated from English into Chinese, it is the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. There are two campuses in Chengdu, the old campus is on Jianshe Road, and the new campus is on Qingshui River in Pi County. Although it is a typical science and engineering university, there are few girls and many men, but the scenery of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is still good. The campus area is relatively large and the greening is very good. There is a large wetland park next to the new campus. It is customary to say that there are many men and ginkgo trees in the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. There are a large number of ginkgo trees on both campuses. In autumn, they all turn yellow and are very beautiful. The artificial lake on the new campus is also beautiful. There are some wild ducks in the lake. The library next to it looks like it extends from the water, which is very beautiful. Most of the buildings of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China are quite imposing. The administrative building of the new campus should be the most spectacular university building in Sichuan. It is very imposing and feels like a government office building. If you go to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, you must try the food in the student cafeteria. It is also a good experience to reminisce about the student life in the past.

I like the environment of the Qingshuihe Campus of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. It is far from the city, about an hour's drive away. There is even a wetland park on campus! In short, it is very beautiful. The school's gymnasium is also great. I came here to watch a concert. There is a sightseeing bus at the entrance. The school is very big. It costs one dollar per person to take it. It is very good. The most attractive thing here is the ginkgo in autumn (the school also has a ginkgo avenue). A large area of ​​ginkgo forest is super beautiful. Many people go to see it every year. It feels like a hot spot, haha~ There are also super overbearing snacks outside the school. I like grilled fish and barbecue the most. Many of them are opened by students themselves. You must go here when the ginkgo turns yellow in autumn.

You must go in autumn! At that time, the entire campus of UESTC is covered with golden ginkgo trees! The scenery is so beautiful... But in autumn, many people will come to sketch or take wedding photos, so it will be a bit crowded.

By Dolma Lhamo |

Currently, UESTC has two campuses in Chengdu. This campus is the old campus, located on the edge of the East First Ring Road. It is also the most popular campus with the most convenient transportation. The most beautiful time of the school is when the ginkgo trees turn yellow in November every year. Ginkgo is the city tree of Chengdu. Because there are many ginkgo trees in the school, the campus is very beautiful when the ginkgo leaves turn yellow. When the ginkgo leaves fall all over the ground, the staff will not sweep them away, and try to keep them in an original state. From a distance, it looks like a golden carpet. At this time of year every year, many couples come to the school to take wedding photos or portraits. However, since 2013, when the ginkgo trees turn yellow, the school will not allow people in wedding dresses to enter, and non-school vehicles are not allowed to enter, saying that too many people will disrupt school order. You can only find a parking lot nearby to park your car and then walk in. However, pedestrians can enter the school freely. The school will not interfere with some photography enthusiasts. The transportation is very convenient. There are bus stops at the front and back gates of the school. There are also many restaurants in and near the school. Because most of the consumers are students, the prices are not expensive. When the ginkgo trees turn yellow, there are many people in the school, and it is difficult to take photos with no people in the background. It is recommended to go early in the morning and try to choose public transportation.
