BEIJING: Some prestigious universities are opening their campuses as summer vacation has begun, giving visitors a chance to experience their unique vibes.
From July 8, China’s top two universities — Peking and Tsinghua — will open for visits, according to the universities’ social media accounts. Visitors can tour the campuses and well-known sites from 9 am to 11 am and from 2 pm to 4 pm after making reservations through the universities’ mini-apps beforehand.
The two universities added that they have set up special channels for group tours of elementary and middle school students, saying their group leaders can contact the universities in advance and tour the campuses based on relevant procedures.
Previously, the two universities were limited to students, faculty, alumni and their relatives, while the general public could not enter the campus unless for business.
Similarly, Wuhan University in Hubei province will also reopen its campus for visitors starting from July 8. The university opened the campus for two weeks in March, allowing the public to tour the campus and enjoy the renowned cherry blossoms, but then closed again to the public after the blooming season.
Some universities in Shanghai, such as Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, adopted the approach in May and June. –The Daily Mail-China Daily news exchange item
