This building is not only the base camp of the College of Literature, but also where Zhang Ailing studied in 1939. It is also the first choice for Hong Kong college students to shoot graduation photo. Among them, Lu Youtang is the theater location where the students of Lust, Caution perform.

University auditorium

Located at the top of Pokfulam Road, it is a striking fusion of Tudor and Goethe architectural features. The University Hall was built by Scottish businessman Douglas in 186 1 as the headquarters and residence of the company, hence the name "Fort Douglas". 1894, a French missionary group bought the building, renovated and added it on a large scale, and then moved out in 1953.

Shetang

"Dormitory" is a place where Hong Kong University provides students (especially undergraduates) with a common life. It is hoped that students can organize their own activities and learn from each other, so as to achieve "all-round education" outside the classroom and academic. The concept of "dormitory education" originated from the "college system" of universities such as Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom, but HKU's dormitory did not have the academic teaching and independent enrollment functions of the college from the beginning, but evolved into a "dormitory" that only retained social and extracurricular education functions. Dormitory is mainly for accommodation and also for students. However, HKU also has a "student dormitory", which is a pure student living without any student organization. In addition, HKU also has a non-residential hall. Dormitory activities are colorful, but most of them are concentrated in the evening to the early morning, and some of them are compulsory courses for boarding students. There are only 36 male and female places in the "Student Accommodation Building". For students who live far away from HKU, there is only one dormitory to choose from. Because many boarding schools re-examine their re-admission qualifications every year according to the performance of boarding schools, students who want to concentrate on their studies or do not want to participate in too many extracurricular activities can only rent nearby private houses or apply for student apartments outside boarding schools. In addition, mainland students who rent out can get financial aid from the Student Development and Resource Center (cedars) of the University of Hong Kong.

At present, the University of Hong Kong has thirteen dormitories and three non-dormitories. These 13 dormitories are: Lady Ho Tung Memorial Hall, Li Shi Man Tang, Matteo Ricci Dormitory, Li Tang, St. John's College, Staade Hall, Taikoo Hall, University Hall, Weilun Hall, Tang, Lee Shau Kee Hall and Sun Zhixin Hall. These three non-residential halls are Corning Hall, Duchess of Ghent Hall and Li Zhixiong Memorial Hall. Among them, Lady He Dong Memorial Hall and Duchess Gunde are girls' halls, Matteo Ricci Dormitory, University Hall, Ma Lixun Hall (undergraduate part) and Corning Hall are boys' halls, and the rest are mixed-sex halls. In addition, Matteo Ricci Dormitory is hosted by the Catholic Jesuit Society and St. John's College is hosted by the Anglican Church, both of which are administratively independent of the University of Hong Kong.

In the history of HKU, there was also the Church of the Virgin Rose, but it was closed for some reason. Mingyuan Church was relocated in 1992 and renamed as Li Xi Shentang. Ma Lixun Concert Hall was closed on 1968 and reopened in 2005. However, the organizer has changed from the London Missionary Association and later the Chinese Christian Church to the university itself.

At present, the University of Hong Kong has three dormitory villages, namely:

Sassoon road Shetang Village-No.6 sassoon road (1992 completed): Weiluntang, Li Xishen, Liming Ze and Mrs. He Shanheng (medical student dormitory);

No.91Pokfulam Road, the first club village of the Jockey Club (completed 5438+0 in 2006): Mrs. He Dong Memorial Hall, Shitetang and He Tiantang (multi-purpose auditorium) (Matteo Ricci Dormitory is located near the club village, but does not belong to it);

Besides Sanshetang village, there is also a university hall.
