Tsinghua University Campus is located between the North Fourth Ring Road and the North Fifth Ring Road in Haidian District. It is adjacent to the subway 13 line in the east and Peking University and Yuanmingyuan in the west. It is one of the most beautiful universities in China. Tsinghua campus was originally a royal garden, which was called Xichun Garden in Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. Yongzheng, Qianlong and Xianfeng lived here successively, and Xichun Park was renamed Tsinghua Campus in Xianfeng years.
The campus covers a total area of 392.4 hectares (306.0 hectares in the headquarters, excluding the affiliated hospital), with a total construction area of 1, 986,5438+0,000 square meters; The greening rate of the campus is 54.8%, and there are 52 species of trees 1 152, including 45,000 trees, 0/88,000 shrubs and 240 ancient trees over 100 years. There are 53,000 square meters of public classrooms, 276 classrooms and 450,000 square meters of student apartments, with rooms 1.39 million.
Buildings in different periods on campus naturally form architectural communities with different styles, creating suitable working, learning and living environments for teachers and students. The sundial on the lawn of Tsinghua Campus Auditorium has stood upright in the wind and rain for decades, engraved with the school spirit of Tsinghua: "Actions speak louder than words". "Actions speak louder than words" is not saying nothing, but seeking truth from facts in words and testifying in actions.
Tsinghua campus is divided into east area and west area by the south gate main road (Tang Xue Road). The west campus is an old campus with American campus layout and many western-style masonry historical buildings. The auditorium is the central landscape, in which buildings such as library (Phase I, II and III projects), science museum, Tsinghua School, Tongfang Department, West Gymnasium and Science College are distributed. Wang Fu Garden's I-shaped hall, Gu Yue Hall, Shui Mu Tsinghua and the "Lotus Pond" (near the former site of Spring Garden) described by Mr. Zhu Ziqing in Moonlight on the Lotus Pond show the traditional garden style of China. The eastern area is dominated by the Soviet-style main building built in 1950, as well as modern-style buildings such as the Architectural Hall, the Li Ming Building, the School of Economics and Management, and the Shaw Science and Technology Museum.
At the foot of the mountain to the north of Tsinghua No.2 school gate, there is a "Monument to Mr. Wang Jing 'an in Haining" called "the first monument of Tsinghua" by Tsinghua alumni, which was erected to commemorate Wang Guowei for the teachers and students of Sinology College. Chen's inscription "Independent Spirit, Free Thought" is the spiritual portrayal of Tsinghua students from generation to generation.
