Step into one of China's most prestigious universities, where history and academia intertwine. The Gulou Campus is home to grand, historic buildings that exude a strong cultural and intellectual atmosphere. Within the campus, you’ll find residences of notable historical figures, including Sun Yat-sen’s former residence—Zhongshan Building. This is not just a place of learning, but a stage where countless dreams take flight.

Once known as Jinling Women’s College, this was China’s premier institution for women’s education. Its graceful classical architecture—complete with dark-tiled roofs and elegant curved eaves—showcases a century of charm and tradition. The winding paths and serene gardens have earned it the title “The Most Beautiful Campus in the East.”

A historic gem, this campus was once part of Central University and sits just 1.6 kilometers from Nanjing University’s Gulou Campus. Though modest in size, the campus features a central avenue lined with solemn, dignified buildings, with the majestic auditorium at its heart. The university’s museum preserves original staircases from over a century ago. Nearby stands the legendary Six Dynasties Pine, a tree that has stood for more than 1,500 years.

As one of China’s earliest higher education institutions dedicated to aviation, this campus is a living tribute to aerospace innovation. Everywhere you look, aerospace elements surround you, making it feel like you’ve stepped into an “Aerospace Park.” At the Yufeng Garden within the Jiangjun Road Campus, you’ll find a fascinating collection of aircraft on display—including fighter jets, trainer planes, helicopters, commercial airliners, amphibious planes, and drones—each accompanied by informative plaques.
