Founded in 1898, Peking University is one of the famous universities in China. The campus has a long history, and there are many ancient buildings with rich heritage. The Weiming Lake and the Boya Tower reflect each other, and the surrounding trees are shady, and the environment is very beautiful. Strolling among buildings such as the library and the century-old lecture hall, you can feel the strong cultural atmosphere of the century-old institution.
The campus of Peking University, also known as Yanyuan, has a relatively large area, about 1.5 kilometers in length and width. On the north side of the campus is the former site of Yenching University, which is also the location of the Royal Garden. It is centered on Weiming Lake, surrounded by many ancient buildings, and the layout is very beautiful and simple. On the south side, there are various teaching buildings on the campus of Peking University. The famous Peking University Centennial Lecture Hall and Guanghua Building are also located here.
