Tsinghua University No.2 School Gate is a classical and elegant "archway" building with blue bricks and white columns and three archways. The forehead is engraved with the four characters "Tsinghua Campus" inscribed by Na Tong, Minister of Military Affairs in the late Qing Dynasty.
The Second Gate is the earliest main gate in Tsinghua University, which was built at 1909. 1933, the campus was expanded, the garden wall was moved out, and the new gate (now the west gate) was opened. Since then, this earliest school gate has been called "the second school gate".
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, year after year, time flies, standing on the main road and the second school gate of the campus, silently witnessing the history and development of Tsinghua in the storm. It is not only a distinctive symbol of Tsinghua campus, but also a symbol of Tsinghua people's long-term hard work and pragmatic character.
