Tianjin University and Nankai University are neighbors, both located in Balitai. Tianjin University was arguably China's first government-run university. Although this isn't the original site of the original campus, there's a memorial pavilion at the entrance. The buildings within Tianjin University, mostly built in the 1950s and 1960s, appear somewhat dated, yet possess a rich history. There used to be a snack street between Tianjin University and Nankai University, but it was later demolished. A gate now separates the two campuses, allowing for free access.

Tianjin University, formerly known as the Beiyang Public School, along with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, formerly known as the Nanyang Public School, are among China's earliest modern universities, spanning three centuries of history. The memorial pavilion in the center of the university displays the school's first graduation diploma, awarded to Wang Chonghui, who later served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist government. The diploma bears not only the student's name, but also the names of his father and grandfather! This truly embodies the meaning of "bringing honor to one's ancestors"!

Today, Tianjin University, like the city of Tianjin, has been completely overshadowed by the nearby capital, Beijing. Its status and level are no longer the same as they were in the past.

Tianjin University is located at 92 Weijin Road, Nankai District, Tianjin. Founded on October 2, 1895, it is China's first modern university. A stone tablet on campus reads: Ma Yinchu entered Tianjin Beiyang University (renamed Tianjin University in 1951) in 1901, majoring in mining and metallurgy. He graduated with honors in 1907 and was recommended by the Qing government to study at Yale University in the United States on government scholarship. (Tianjin University teaching building.) On September 22, 1951, Beiyang University merged with Hebei Institute of Technology to become Tianjin University.

It is a century-old school. Tianjin University and Nankai University are neighbors. I ride my bike all the way from Tianjin University to Nankai University and circle the campus. I like Tianjin University’s campus more and I like riding my bike across the small bridge to the other side of the river.

It depends on the individual. The university environment is very good. If you like to visit famous schools, you can go and visit and feel the atmosphere.

After passing an intersection on Jingye Road, I turned into Mingde Road. What caught my eye was the 24th Teaching Building, which is the teaching building of the School of Environmental Science and Engineering. There were many roses planted downstairs (? ). The green leaves and red flowers complemented the teaching building. I don’t know if it was the sound of reading that embellished the roses’ dreams, or the fragrance of the flowers that drifted into the hearts of the students.



The teaching buildings along Mingde Road made me deeply intoxicated in this ancient school with a history of more than a hundred years.

I planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination in 2013 and moved to Tianjin. I borrowed the library of Tianjin University for half a year to prepare for the exam. I spent most of the time in the Yifu Library. I also went to Building 26, which has very new hardware, Building 23, which is relatively old, and Building 8, an even older building with Tianjin historical style, the main building of the Department of Architecture. I will never forget these six months. I arrived at the library on time at six o'clock every morning and it closed at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. It was fifteen minutes after I got to the school gate. I found that there were so many stalls selling midnight snacks at the door. I bought some almost every day and took them back to the rental house. I slept after eating, so I gained a lot of weight in the past six months. I will never forget the days when I met many fellow postgraduate students in the past six months and helped each other and worked hard together. I almost regarded this place as my second alma mater. Studying, eating, receiving express deliveries, everything was the same as the four years in college, except that I borrowed the resources of Tianjin University. Thank you teachers and classmates of this school for your understanding.

I always visit the university wherever I go. It's a great school. Quiet and cozy!

Tianjin University and Nankai University are connected. I had a meal in Tianjin University's third cafeteria. My daughter's braised pork ribs rice was better than my fish-flavored shredded pork rice. Beiyang Academy is right at Tianjin University's north gate, and there are many buses nearby.

The campus is very nice and large. The scenery is beautiful. Tianjin University is very close to Nankai University. You can basically walk through the same gate of Nankai University and you're right there!

I have been away from Tianjin University for a year and a half, and away from the old campus for two and a half years. I miss it.

It's a very good university, but unfortunately I couldn't get in.

The predecessor of Tianjin University was Beiyang University, which is considered to be the earliest university in China. It has many stories and an open campus that is open to visitors.

Cornell University of the East cultivates talents and promotes education



In 1895, Tianjin Customs Commissioner Sheng Xuanhuai, with courage and ability, oversaw the establishment of the Beiyang University, which emphasized the practical application of Western learning. This marked the beginning of modern higher education, following the established model of successors in modern history. In September 1951, it merged with the Hebei Institute of Technology and was renamed Tianjin University.



With a long history, a thriving faculty of distinguished scholars, rigorous governance, and excellent educational practices, the university has earned the prestigious title of "Cornell of the East." Educator Li Shutian commented, "The Beiyang University's revival after the Boxer Rebellion and its rise to prominence as a renowned institution in the East were all due to Mr. Ding."



Hai Xiaotang is the campus beauty of Tianjin University and has become the cultural symbol of the Begonia Season. Representative buildings include the Ninth Teaching Building (main building), Beiyang Square on the banks of Jingye Lake, and the Beiyang Memorial Pavilion. Visitors come here in an endless stream to enjoy the scenery.

Tianjin University, also known as "Tianjin University," formerly known as Beiyang University, is a prestigious institution of higher learning steeped in history and war. Its motto, "Seeking Truth from Facts," its ethos of "Rigorous Scholarship," and its tradition of "Patriotic Dedication" are renowned both domestically and internationally. No matter how tumultuous the outside world, upon entering Tianjin University, one feels a sense of elegance, tranquility, and understated elegance. Wherever one goes, one senses the refined, artistic elegance of a prestigious historic university.

The earliest university in China, with a strong academic atmosphere.

By Junjun |

China's first modern university boasts a campus that's truly captivating: beautiful. It's so stunning you'll want to linger there. Tianjin University and Nankai University, separated by a single wall, are twin institutions, each with its own unique beauty and character. Come experience the campus and the energy of Tianjin's students. I truly love Tianjin University.

Beiyang University Hall, rich in historical and cultural information. In September 1951, Beiyang University merged with Hebei Institute of Technology and was renamed Tianjin University.

I like visiting universities. There are two famous universities in Tianjin, one is of course Tianjin University and the other is of course Nankai University. These two famous universities are also neighbors, so it is very convenient to visit them.

Tianjin University, abbreviated as Tianda, is the predecessor of the renowned Beiyang University. Founded on October 2, 1895, it was China's first modern university and a pioneer in modern higher education. Initially, with the imperial approval of Emperor Guangxu, it was named Tianjin Beiyang Western Studies School in October 1895. In October 1896, the school was renamed Beiyang University Hall, the first institution of higher learning in China to be called a "university hall." In 1913, it was renamed National Beiyang University. In July 1928, the Nanjing Nationalist Government piloted a university district system for education, and Beiyang University was renamed "Peking University Second Institute of Technology." The university district system was soon abolished, and from June 1929, Beiyang University was temporarily known as "National Beiyang Institute of Technology." After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Beiyang University moved to Xi'an to establish the Xi'an Provisional University. In March 1938, it was renamed National Northwest United University, and in July 1938, it was renamed National Northwest Institute of Technology. In May 1946, it was renamed National Beiyang University. In September 1951, Hebei Institute of Technology was merged into Beiyang University and renamed Tianjin University.

Tianjin University, formerly known as Beiyang University, was founded in 1895. This century-old institution is steeped in history and rich in stories. Every April, the Tianjin Begonia Festival offers a delightful spectacle. Strolling through the campus and watching the crabapple blossoms bloom is truly breathtaking! Local visitors to Tianjin should definitely consider this opportunity.

By Vast Sea Breeze |

University is a kind of sentiment. With the free use of shared bicycles, the time spent on campus has been shortened, and the university has become a place for the sharing economy.

By Traveling alone |

Tianjin University is truly beautiful. It wasn't originally on my travel plans, but my roommate asked me to help him find information for the postgraduate entrance exam retest, and we ended up here unexpectedly. It's truly stunning. Without further ado, just look at the pictures.

By The same me |

I took the subway to Tianjin University. I saw a banner promoting the postgraduate entrance exam. It just so happened that the exam was taking place. Good luck to everyone! The school is a great place. The hot water I just installed at the hotel is no longer hot, but I didn't expect the teaching building to have hot water. Even drinks are hard to buy in the north in winter; everyone craves hot water. Some of the buildings at Tianjin University are very old, while others are very modern. Since everyone's still taking exams, the campus is quite deserted. My mom and I felt like parents taking their children to study for the postgraduate entrance exams. Those taking the exams are incredibly hard. I hope you all get into your dream university. Good luck! I could see the Tianjin Tower from a distance at Tianjin University. Winter in the north can be really desolate, unlike Guangzhou where the trees are always lush and green. The lake at Tianjin University was practically frozen. I ran into an old man fishing, and my mom actually struck up a conversation with him. At Tianjin University, my mom and I tried taking panoramic photos. We tried to capture multiple mothers in one shot, but ultimately failed. While the postgraduate entrance exams were still taking place, we went to the cafeteria to eat. What a strong dish! Really salty, not really suited to southern palates. Halfway through, students preparing for postgraduate entrance exams arrived for lunch. Many people ate while reviewing, and many parents brought their own hearty lunches to eat with their children. It felt like the college entrance exams.

By Ant Bee Far |

Moving forward, we reach Tianjin University, erm, Tianda. It's easy to get in, probably because it's open to the public. I strolled through other universities and came to the Feng Jicai Literature and Art Center. Other universities are not shy either, so I went in to take a look. Art universities are different, just like architecture universities. There are some older buildings, probably Soviet-style buildings after the liberation. There are even older ones, but I didn't pass by them... The latitude is different, and the grass is still green! Needless to say, the big roof is very Chinese. Tianjin University is Beiyang University. The first Western-style university in China, a product of the Westernization Movement.

By lilei_catcher |

A university with a rich history. The architecture and campus layout are both impressive, and the school's modernization efforts are also impressive!

By HoHo Master |

In April, Tianjin University celebrates its Begonia Festival. Pink petals fall in clumps in the wind. In April, Tianjin University boasts not only crabapples but also roses. Tianjin University is a place you never tire of photographing. In some seasons, Tianjin University in the summer is just a bit more crowded with mosquitoes, but otherwise, everything is fine. The reed marshes at Tianjin University are incredibly beautiful, especially at sunset.

I originally wanted to have lunch in the cafeteria of Tianjin University, but I went too late. Lunch time was not until 1:30, and it was already past 1:00 when I arrived. I didn’t have a meal card, so I had to borrow one from a classmate on campus. I felt embarrassed, haha.

On weekends, there are many aunts and uncles playing diabolo and shuttlecock, which is quite novel for children in the south.

The school is adjacent to Nankai University. There is no subway nearby, so the transportation is quite convenient.

By Jack |

Well-known university, good environment, large campus, you can walk around a lot.

By Beautiful scenery along the way |

It is very close to Nankai University and you can walk through it. Due to time constraints, I didn't go around much and only walked to the monument near the gate.

By Mr. Z |

My original goal for the postgraduate entrance exam was to study at Tianjin University. I even went there before the exam. When I went there in early 2015, I didn't dare to go in. I even lingered for a long time at the KFC at the back gate of Tianjin University. I was so young. The most famous building in the school is probably the Beiyang University Hall. Inside the university hall is engraved the first university graduation certificate in China - the graduation certificate of Tianjin University's outstanding alumnus Wang Chonghui, but I didn't take a photo.

By Be considerate |

Tianjin University is older, with thicker trees and older buildings. It has a river as its central axis, with libraries, teaching buildings, dormitories, etc. on both sides. It's great to be young. If I could live my university life again, I would definitely make it more exciting.

By Elena Yu |

The architecture of Tianda and Nankai is completely different. It is said that they are good at pitting their teammates. Haha, just kidding. The two famous universities are only one street away and have been together for a hundred years. How happy!

By doudousha |

It is adjacent to Nankai University, so you can visit both universities together. There is a riverside trail outside the campus. The two universities are not far away, so you can walk there in a short time and slowly experience the university campus.

My classmates had told me that the east gate of Tianjin University was the main entrance, so I headed straight for it. Tianjin University and Nankai University are adjacent, separated by a gate, yet they offer two worlds: Tianjin University is bustling and lively, while Nankai is tranquil and tranquil. Once inside, strolling through this premier university in China feels like stepping into a vast park. Groups of students returning from school, nearby residents, and tourists create a distinctly layered landscape. Tianjin University boasts four lakes, the largest of which is Qingnian Lake. When I got tired of walking, I sat by the lake. Trees drooped down on either side, dipping into the water. The breeze stirred the water, creating ripples. It was getting dark, so I only had a brief look at Nankai University before leaving. I don't know if this is just a glimpse of the whole, but I felt Nankai University wasn't as distinctive as Tianjin University—perhaps because Tianjin University, formerly the Beiyang University, retains many of its architecture. My biggest impression of Tianjin University was the sheer size of the campus, the unique architecture, and the beautiful surroundings. In short, this is what a real university is.

Tianjin University and Nankai University are very close to each other, you can visit both schools

A city's university embodies its essence and soul. Tianjin University, formerly known as Beiyang University, was founded in 1895 and is China's first modern university. It excels particularly in engineering and, along with Nankai University, is a source of pride for Tianjin residents. When I graduated and came to Tianjin to work, my high school roommate was still a student at Tianjin University, so I visited him several times. Tianjin University dormitories are interestingly named, "Shao Zhai" (for example, No. 15 Zhai). Tianjin University and Nankai University are separated by only a single wall, allowing for easy access to each other through the "Nantian Gate." The campus boasts a large pond, beautifully filled with lotus flowers in the summer. The university also boasts a cafeteria, swimming pool, and gym. Tianjin University has now relocated to a new campus in the Haihe Education Park, significantly upgrading its facilities. I hope this upgrade maintains the legacy of its century-old history.

Instead of being a hustle and bustle that attracts attention and presses forward, it is better to be a real and natural person in the crowd, not ostentatious, not pretentious, and always keep a distance. Be determined in your heart and just focus on doing things. ——"Su Nian Jin Shi". As a student of Tianjin University, I have an indescribable attachment and affection for Tianjin University. The Tianjin University campus, which is only separated from the noisy downtown area by Weijin Road, is tranquil, melodious, gentle and quiet. You can stroll on the campus paths, or stop under the shadows of the trees by the lake, and quietly experience the tranquility and stability that the campus brings you. There are also many Tianjin-style snacks around the school, such as Master Bao's meat floss cake, Chen Shazi's steamed buns, and Enlaishun's large copper pot. Our Weizuizi restaurant will keep you full.

I walked all the way from Nankai University to Tianjin University in the heavy smog. It was tiring. At first glance, it was a school with a strong academic atmosphere and a strong sense of history.

Tianjin University, abbreviated as TJU, was formerly Beiyang University. It is located at No. 92 Weijin Road, Nankai District, Tianjin. It is adjacent to Nankai University. The two schools are separated by only an iron railing, and there is also a scientific research building jointly built and used by the two schools.

The main gate of Tianjin University is grayish white, with an overall pyramid shape, a heavy sense of volume, and simple colors, full of an architectural style that combines classic and modern elements.

On the north side of Beiyang Square stands a statue of Ma Yinchu. The statue is square, with a gray marble base and a protruding black marble figure. Behind it are two staircase-like stone steps, symbolizing the scholar's constant climb up the ladder of knowledge. The statue is a bust, depicting Ma Yinchu in student attire and a delicate face. His name and birth and death dates are inscribed beneath the stone.

To the north of Beiyang Square stands the Ninth Teaching Building, a quaint building with gray walls and green tiles. In the lawn in front of Tianjin University's landmark Ninth Teaching Building stands a seemingly ordinary tree, yet it is truly extraordinary. This is China's first Newton apple tree, planted directly from a branch of wood from Newton's former residence. The tree is thriving at Tianjin University and has already produced fruit.

In a corner of the campus, there is a gymnasium with a square shape, golden curtain walls and a glass lobby. It is particularly eye-catching because of its exterior color.

Tianjin University's old campus is adjacent to Nankai University, so it's nice to go inside and experience the university atmosphere. Outside Tianjin University, there's a place called Ersaozi Jianbingguozi (a Chinese pancake shop) that was once on Day Day Up. Their pancakes are more expensive than regular ones, but they taste pretty good.

Tianjin University (abbreviated as Tianda, formerly known as Beiyang University, English abbreviation: TJU) originated from the Tianjin Beiyang Western Learning School, founded on October 2, 1895. Tianjin University is located in Qilitai, Nankai District, Tianjin, China. Tianjin University's motto is "Seek Truth from Facts." In September 1951, Beiyang University merged with Hebei Institute of Technology to become Tianjin University (Hebei Institute of Technology was rebuilt in 1958). In 1952, the university's departments and faculties were restructured, with departments such as geology, metallurgy, mining, and aerospace relocated to other locations. Engineering departments were incorporated from other schools, transforming the university into a multidisciplinary industrial university. Currently, Tianjin University is a key comprehensive university directly under the Ministry of Education and a member of the National 985 Project, the 211 Project, and a national key comprehensive university. Tianjin University is currently constructing a new campus within the Haihe Education Park, with the first phase expected to open in 2015. Tianjin University is also a member of the "Old Eight Schools of Architecture," a member of the Alliance of Excellence, and a member of the 111 Project.

Upon entering Tianjin University, I was immediately greeted by a breathtaking natural atmosphere. Perhaps because it was summer vacation, the sight of students walking to and from school in groups of three or four was rare. Instead, it seemed more like nearby residents were strolling and exercising with their children and elderly parents, as well as tourists like me. The campus is vast, with some buildings quite old. The mottled bark of the towering trees bears witness to the vicissitudes of life, and the cobblestone pavements are also ancient—all traces of the history of this century-old institution. Because of its age, the campus felt a bit like something out of the movie "A Love So Beautiful": everything feels old, yet evokes a sense of nostalgia.

There is a small pond in the school. On both sides of the pond are trees with drooping branches, which are prosperous and luxuriant. A simple small pavilion is deep in the lake. On it are engraved four big characters: "Seek truth from facts". This reminds everyone who sees it to pursue the spirit of seeking truth from facts. The beautiful scenery on both sides of the lake is reflected in the lake.

Tianjin University is the top university in Tianjin, and its environment, educational facilities and humanistic environment are all first-class.

If you have been to Tianjin University, you will feel the coexistence of modernity and history. There are both newly built buildings in recent years and buildings left over from the Beiyang Academy.

Tianjin University has five cafeterias, which really shocked me. My friends told me the food there was super cheap, but after trying it myself, I found that wasn't the case. The prices at the five cafeterias varied greatly. The one I went to was relatively expensive, and the food wasn't very tasty.

My most memorable experience was seeing the crabapple blossoms during the Tianda Begonia Festival. The entire campus was covered in them, absolutely stunning. Um, the pictures are all on other phones, so I can't display them. A gust of wind blew, and the sight of the crabapple blossoms floating in the air was simply stunning. My Chinese is so poor, I'm at a loss for words, and I can't think of a better way to describe it.

Tianjin University's dormitories actually have a very nice feel, especially at night, when they're quiet and relaxing. Would I say they're suitable for couples to spend time together?

Needless to say, the humanistic environment is excellent. As an institution of higher learning, the campus environment is very good, civilized, and loving. There are also many top students and academic gurus. Even the poor students say they like this atmosphere very much.

This century-old university has nurtured generations of elites from all walks of life and is the pride of Tianjin residents. It's one of the top universities for Tianjin students who don't want to study outside the province (since Nankai University is also available). The campus is vast, and walking around it takes quite a while. There's a monument-like building on campus with the words "Beiyang Academy" written on it, giving it a sense of age.

During the Qingming Festival, many visitors came to Tianjin University to see the crabapple blossoms. It happened to be the university's crabapple festival, and the vast expanse of blossoms was truly stunning. The crabapple blossoms were concentrated along Mingde Road, and the trees were quite old. Apart from the blossoms, the rest of the scenery during this season was quite unsatisfactory.

When visiting a city, you must visit its prestigious universities. Tianjin University, the first modern university in China, is a living piece of history. As an older campus, it's mostly old buildings, and the overall facilities aren't as good as some other universities, but it's still very beautiful. The school is full of crabapples, and they hold a crabapple festival every April. Located in the southernmost part of the city, it's adjacent to Nankai University. These two prestigious universities will leave you with a deep impression.

Take bus No. 8 from the train station to the East Gate (main gate), or bus No. 50 to the North Gate. The campus has four unique small lakes. Watching the sunset from the Qiushi Pavilion at Jingye Lake is truly romantic. Don't just think of this place as a tourist attraction; honestly, it's not as beautiful as other places. Experience its history, feel its culture, and connect with its people. If you have the chance, visit the University History Museum and the Wang Xuezhong Art Museum. I'm sure you'll leave with more than just a passing visit.

In Guangzhou, when you walk into Sun Yat-sen University, you feel as if you've escaped the bustling city, distanced yourself from all noise, and stepped into a magical forest. But in Tianjin, when you walk into Tianjin University, you simply feel the perfect fusion of city and campus. Walking along the Tianjin University campus, you'd think you were just walking down an ordinary street. Tianjin University is a perfect fusion of campus and city.

Tianjin University is my alma mater. Putting aside my deep attachment to the school, even a stranger walking onto the campus feels like a pure paradise. Founded in 1895, the university was formerly known as Beiyang University. The library and teaching buildings each have their own unique feel. Tianjin University also boasts numerous lakes, such as Jingye Lake and Qingnian Lake, which are also a unique feature. Nearby are residential areas, and at dusk, many parents bring their children to Beiyang Square at the east gate. The feeling of walking on campus is lost once you've left the gates. At night, the colorful lights light up, creating a truly stunning sight. If you're in Tianjin, a visit to Tianjin University is a must; it's guaranteed to be worthwhile.

My sister was doing her postgraduate study at Tianjin University, so we stayed there, put our luggage away, and went out for a walk. Tianjin University and Nankai University are next to each other, and you can reach Nankai University by going through a gate from Tianjin University. That gate is called Nantianmen. I instantly felt like I was ascending to heaven, haha. It was getting late after our walk, so we took a rest and continued our journey tomorrow.

It's been over six months since I graduated, and I've been thinking about writing a review of my alma mater. When writing about my alma mater, even if it's just about the scenery, it's inevitable that I overestimate the school due to sentimentality, and sometimes underestimate it due to familiarity. I'll try to be as objective as possible. Tianjin University's most famous sight is probably the crabapple blossom season in early April each year. The exact timing varies depending on the season and temperature. For example, in 2013, due to a cold snap, the flowers didn't bloom until May, whereas they normally bloom in early April. The crabapple blossoms are short-lived, so they don't last long. Since they haven't become a major attraction like the Wuhan University Cherry Blossom Festival, there's no admission fee, so the crowds aren't huge. Most visitors are Tianjin University students and Tianjin locals. Weekend afternoons are a bit more crowded, with some stylishly dressed women taking artistic photos. I once saw a girl in a typical Republican-era school uniform and a Love Live cosplayer. The rest of the time, there are almost no people, especially at night, when the only people are students. I personally think the crabapple blossoms are beautiful at night, too. Tianjin University is also famous for its four lakes. Although they are not considered high-end scenery, it is still quite pleasant to sit here and enjoy the breeze on a summer night. Tianjin University is famous for its architecture, especially because it participated in the construction of the Bird's Nest. This can be slightly reflected in Tianjin University's own buildings, namely the 26th Teaching Building and the new gymnasium. The 26th Teaching Building is the huge connected building on the west side after entering from the north gate, which is connected to the gate of Nankai University. The new gymnasium is located in the northeast corner of the school. It is also called the Earth Cube. Hearing this name, I think everyone can probably imagine what the gymnasium looks like. Later, I visited many universities, both domestic and foreign, in the south and north, and witnessed many spectacular and beautiful sights. Sometimes I complained about why Tianjin University didn't have so many green trees, seaside views, classical architecture, or extensive woods. But after each visit, I calmed down and reflected, comparing them, and found that they all had different kinds of beauty. It's just that when you get used to one, you always yearn for another. Tianjin University's scenery isn't as captivating as many other universities at first sight, but it still has unique characteristics that make you stop and savor them. Because it's my alma mater, I'm saying a few more words about it, hoping to attract more people to visit Tianjin University when they come to Tianjin.

Very cultural atmosphere, a great school.

Tianjin University is generally better than Nankai University. Some of its buildings have their own characteristics, and the campus is really big.

Tianjin University, formerly Beiyang University, was founded in 1895 with the motto of "seeking truth from facts".

I walked around to the School of Pharmacy behind the Nankai University office building and through the gate there, I found myself at Tianjin University. It was very convenient. I only realized upon entering Tianjin University that I was there on the same day as the new student registration. I remembered my own registration day, which was similarly overwhelming and hectic. China's first university is now Tianjin University.

It's right next to Nankai University, and the two schools are connected, so you can explore both. The campus is beautifully landscaped and quite large! Tianjin University, China's first modern university, upholds the motto of "Seeking Truth from Facts." The campus exudes a scholarly atmosphere, and the historic buildings are truly eye-catching. Upon entering, you'll find a spacious plaza and lawn. Although the leaves have fallen, you can still imagine the lush greenery of summer, as these trees have accompanied Tianjin University all the way from Beiyang University Hall, giving you a sense of the century-old atmosphere. There are several lakes on campus, and the reeds lining them are truly beautiful. It was an absolute pleasure to complete my studies at Tianjin University.

Location: Downtown Tianjin. Taxis are very cheap in downtown Tianjin and you can take a taxi there.

Scenery: University scenery, snowy landscapes. When I visited Tianjin University, it was snowing. The lake was completely frozen, covered in a thick layer of snow. The ground was white, the sky was azure, and the reeds swayed in the sunlight. The scenery was like a painting. Tianjin University's campus is quite large, so it takes quite a bit of walking to get around.

Tip: When it snows, the outdoor temperature is very low. It is recommended to buy shoes with furry lining, as your feet will become lumpy after walking outside for a while.

Students who enjoy visiting universities should not miss Tianjin University. In the spring, the Tiandaweijin Road neighborhood has a crabapple season, and the crabapples are in full bloom. Currently, motor vehicles are charged to enter the campus, but there are no restrictions for bicycles and pedestrians. Tianjin University and Nanjing University are adjacent, and Nanjing University can be entered from the Tiannan University Joint Building.

This is a very nice campus. The old buildings are well-preserved, and the new buildings have distinctive designs. It feels vibrant, especially compared to nearby Nankai University.

By peddlers |

Entering Tianjin University, one is greeted by the expansive Beiyang Square. Tianjin is not a city short of water, and this characteristic is evident on the university campus.

By To pamper me |

I just passed by and didn't have the chance to go in and take a look. Hehe, it's a pity. I'll go in and experience it next time I come to Tianjin.

This is also one of the destinations of my trip to Tianjin. It is connected to Nankai University and you can visit them together. The canteen of Tianjin University is open to the public and you can buy their tickets to buy things in the canteen.
