Peking University

Peking University is known for its long history, outstanding academic resources and beautiful campus.

 

The campus of Peking University, also known as Yan Garden, has been unofficially dubbed by many as the mini-Summer Palace for its great scenery near the Weiming Lake area, which was once part of a Qing Dynasty royal garden. The Boya Tower to the south of the lake is illuminated at night and its reflection in the lake is considered particularly beautiful. In warm days, students can be seen reading and studying beside the lake and in winter they skate on it.

 

The campus is also renowned for the beauty of its traditional Chinese architectures, similar to those inside the Forbidden City.
