Tsinghua University Campus is located between the North Fourth Ring Road and the North Fifth Ring Road in Haidian District. It is one of the most beautiful universities in China, with subway 13 line in the east and Peking University and Yuanmingyuan in the west. 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 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.
