Gulou Campus is located in the former site of Jinling University, a national cultural relic protection unit, with beautiful campus scenery, including Peking University Building, small auditorium, auditorium, Sun Yat-sen's former residence, He's former residence, Rabe's former residence, Pearl Buck's former residence, the May 20th memorial pavilion and many other cultural landscapes.

Many former sites (homepages) of Nanjing University were in Gulou Campus (homepages) of Nanjing University as early as the Southern Dynasties.

The former Jinling University moved to the Gulou area in the early years of the Republic of China, and Nanjing University moved here after the adjustment of departments, which was the earliest campus site of Nanjing University in the Southern Dynasties.

Sipailou is the former site of Nanjing University. 1952 used to be the school site of Nanjing University. After 1952, Nanjing University moved out of Sipailou, only to be ceded to other newly established schools at that time, including Nangong Southeast and Hohai University (home page), all located in the former site of Sipailou Nanda.

In Song Dynasty, Nanjing imperial academy was located in Gulou Campus of Nanjing University. Both the Literature Museum and the History Museum are located in the west of the Drum Tower. Confucianism Museum is located at the foot of Zijin Mountain, and Metaphysics Museum is located at the foot of Jilong Mountain. However, before the adjustment of the departments of Nanjing University, Sipailou was located at the southern foot of Jilong Mountain.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Guo Zi School was originally established in the Confucius Temple area, not in the Sipailou at the southern foot of Jilong Mountain, and only later did it move there.
