Yangpu Campus is a garden-style campus, which is built on the mountain as a whole. The terrain is roughly square, with upper north and lower south, just west of Zuo Dong. Shangbei District basically retains the main buildings, roads and landscapes of the original Yangpu Campus of Yunnan University, while Xian 'an District is basically the newly developed buildings, roads and landscapes of the College, with the south end as the center as the new entrance of the College. The overall style of the campus is gentle and graceful, with ginkgo on Mingde Road, cherry blossoms beside Chengming Garden and Tingxin Lake in full bloom. Thanks to the mild climate in Kunming, the whole school has different scenery in four seasons.
Most of the school buildings are Huizhou-style buildings with white backgrounds and blue roofs, such as Boya Building and Bo Shi Building, the main teaching building. Music building, art building and other buildings adopt modern architectural style. The school living area is divided into Beiyuan (Chengming Garden) and Nanyuan (Runze Garden), with student apartments, supermarkets and canteens respectively, making life convenient.
