[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Tsinghua Garden (Updated Jun)

Holiday visit to Tsinghua University and Yuanmingyuan. First, let's talk about Tsinghua University🏫. You need to scan your ID card to enter. You can ride a bicycle while touring around. We checked out Tsinghua Garden, the Auditorium, the Library, Tsinghua Academy, Shuimu Tsinghua, and the Lotus Pond. There were too many people visiting Tsinghua on the weekend, but cycling🚴 was still very convenient. The Tsinghua cultural and creative products were so great that I bought a lot. Today's weather☁️ was perfect with blue skies and white clouds, making the photos look amazing. After that, we went to Yuanmingyuan. Seeing the ruins in person, it's hard to imagine how magnificent it was before its destruction, which made me feel the weight of history.

"As heaven's movement is ever vigorous, so must a gentleman ceaselessly strive along; As earth's condition is receptive devotion, so must a gentleman carry the outer world with broad virtue." These are such familiar words, and Tsinghua has influenced generations of its students with the motto "Self-Discipline and Social Commitment". To me, Tsinghua has always been the sacred place of learning in my heart. Alas, with limited talent and ability, I had no chance to attend Tsinghua and could only look on from afar. Coming to Beijing to study, I was fortunate enough to book a visit to Tsinghua as a tourist, fulfilling my dream of getting close to Tsinghua. For the first time encountering such a higher institution, it enlightened my thoughts, not only with Tsinghua's beautiful campus scenery but also with its rigorous academic atmosphere and those exciting, touching stories. Stepping into Tsinghua, the encounter was brief, so brief it could be counted on one finger, just 4 hours, yet I could feel its antiquity and modernity. A quick glance, a fleeting impression, I experienced the cultural spirit of Tsinghua. Pavilions, lush trees, and the ivy-covered walls. Walking by the campus river with weeping willows, the distant cicadas singing, and the birds chirping. The exquisite Tsinghua, blessed by nature. Due to renovations, I could only gaze from afar, barely able to see the couplets on the gate. At the entrance of Tsinghua stands the lotus pond, and there stands the statue of Zhu Ziqing, slender and with a melancholic expression. I lingered by the lotus pond near Zhu Ziqing's statue; constantly capturing the beautiful scenery with my phone. This classic garden has both the grandeur of northern gardens and the delicate beauty of southern landscapes, endlessly inspiring imagination. Entering Tsinghua Garden, it was not only the beautiful scenery that captivated me but also the ordinary life. Walking on Tsinghua's track, I couldn't help but start running, drenched in sweat, but the breeze made my heart calmer. I happened to meet Tsinghua runners in core training and spent half an hour with them. Training running postures together, doing stretching exercises. Although the time was short, a runner's journey never ends, and the journey of life needs to continue to set sail, to strive. Self-discipline and social commitment, this is the virtue of Tsinghua people, and for those of us outside the school, self-discipline and social commitment are also the source of our growth. Only by being self-disciplined and committed can we strive earnestly and pursue our dreams. Independent thinking, self-discipline, and hard work, the story of life never ends, there is only the process of continuous struggle. Whether joy or sorrow, success or failure, everything will become a fleeting cloud. Be kind to yourself, your life is yours to choose.

The second gate of Tsinghua University is majestic and magnificent, symbolizing the dreams and pursuits of countless students. The Great Hall is the cultural heart of the campus, carrying countless important moments and memories, and its gorgeous architectural style makes people feel awe. The lakeside of Shuimu Tsinghua is even more quiet and elegant, with poetic scenery in the changing seasons. It is an ideal place for students to think and relax. Here, you can feel the strong academic atmosphere and be full of longing for the future. Su Shi said: "Learn extensively, ask questions, think carefully, distinguish clearly, and practice diligently. Be virtuous and carry the world." This sentence emphasizes the importance of extensive knowledge and virtue, and embodies the spirit of Tsinghua University in pursuit of excellence and morality.

The autumn was clear, and the sun shone through the sparse clouds and filled the Tsinghua campus. Riding on the campus, we first passed the principal's office. The simple building became more elegant against the backdrop of autumn leaves. We continued forward and came to the Life Science Building. The outer wall was warmly wrapped in the golden sunlight, as if full of vitality. Going around the river, the maple leaves on both sides of the river bank were already red, trembling slightly in the wind, and reflected on the water, like an oil painting. Further ahead is the Tsinghua New School. The modern and classical architectural styles are integrated in the autumn sun, solemn and quiet. Finally, we stopped in front of the Tsinghua Main Building. This symbolic building stood in the autumn wind, majestic and solemn, as if quietly telling the rich history of Tsinghua over the past century.

The lotus pond in Tsinghua Garden in autumn has a unique tranquility and beauty. The bleak wind gently caresses the withered lotus leaves, and the withered and yellow lotus leaves stand upright or fall down, as if telling the change of seasons. The ripples on the water reflect a clear sky, and a few scattered withered leaves drift in the wind, embellishing the tranquility and depth of this autumn. Walking in the lotus pond, Mr. Zhu Ziqing's low hum seems to ring in my ears: "Such a beautiful night scene makes people feel endless melancholy and tenderness." The lotus leaves were green and the lotus flowers were faint, but now only the withered lotus remains. But it is in this mottled autumn that Mr. Zhu's character and articles become clearer. Mr. Zhu Ziqing turned the moonlight in the lotus pond into an eternal classic with his delicate brushstrokes, and his integrity and pride of not bowing to power are even more awe-inspiring. His life is like the moonlight in the lotus pond - clear, gentle, but with a brilliance that cannot be desecrated. The lotus pond in autumn is no longer as green as it once was, but every withered leaf and every ripple seems to silently remember this literary giant. As the seasons change, the lotus leaves wither and flourish, but the articles and spirit left by Mr. Zhu Ziqing are as immortal as the autumn moon reflected in the pond water.

The Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University in autumn is quiet and poetic. From a distance, the building of the academy emits a soft glow under the warm sun, and the surrounding trees are layered and dyed with gorgeous golden and fiery red. The breeze blows, and the fallen leaves fall one after another, covering the path, as if spreading a natural oil painting. The Academy of Fine Arts stands quietly in this picturesque autumn scenery, appearing particularly peaceful and profound, as if telling people the beauty of the harmonious coexistence of art and nature.

This is actually Tsinghua! It's so beautiful it's almost unfair! It's no wonder it's so beautiful, it was built on the site of a royal garden. I looked it up and found out that Tsinghua University was named after the old site of Tsinghua Garden, which was founded in the late Qing Dynasty by the fifth son of Emperor Daoguang, Prince Dun Yishou. 📷📷📷📷 Its history can be traced back to the 32nd year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, when Xichun Garden was expanded and Guanchulou was built for wheat viewing. In the 7th year of Emperor Jiaqing's reign, the pond to the west of Guanchulou was expanded, which is now the Shuimu Tsinghua Pond. In the second year of Emperor Daoguang's reign, Xichun Garden was divided into two. The eastern half, where Shenggeng Villa and Guanchulou are located, was given to Emperor Daoguang's third brother, Prince Dun Miankai, as a reward for his residence. In the 18th year of Emperor Daoguang's reign, Miankai was punished and the reward garden was taken back. Miankai died of illness at the end of the year. In the 26th year of Emperor Daoguang's reign, Yishou was adopted by Miankai as his heir and was given this garden. Yishou was known as Little Fifth Master, so Tsinghua Garden was also known as "Little Fifth Master Garden" at that time. 📷📷📷📷 Because Tsinghua Garden is the farthest from the imperial road and is located in a remote area, it escaped the fate of being burned by the British and French allied forces when they burned the Old Summer Palace. During Emperor Tongzhi's reconstruction of the Old Summer Palace, because Yishou lived in Tsinghua Garden, it escaped the fate of being demolished for building materials to rebuild the Old Summer Palace, so it is still well preserved today. In the first year of Emperor Xuantong's reign, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing government transferred Tsinghua Garden from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to build the American Education Pavilion, which was the beginning of Tsinghua University. 📷📷📷📷 The two characters of Tsinghua are used as the name of the garden, indicating that the scenery is beautiful. Xie Hun's poem "Touring the West Pond" in the Jin Dynasty: "The birds gather when the sun is setting, and the water and wood are clear and beautiful." The "Song Book·Hidden Biography" also has "The rocks and gullies are leisurely and far away, and the water and rocks are clear and beautiful." When you actually walk around, you can feel the style of the royal garden everywhere. Originally, I just wanted to take a look at the top school, but in the end, I was impressed by the beautiful scenery. I have to sigh, even if Tsinghua is just a park, it is a top park!

Tsinghua Garden, you've played too true to the flower! In 2024, Tsinghua University further relaxed its campus open policy to the public. Besides the summer and winter vacations and rest days, now even weekdays are accessible to enter the campus. This open educational philosophy has received widespread praise. Several friends from other places, who have long yearned to visit, finally fulfilled their dream of visiting Tsinghua this spring. The profound cultural heritage of the school leads everyone to trace and seek in the campus. Whether it's the lotus pond by the Nearly Spring Garden, the Zi Qing Pavilion nearby, the Sculpture Garden, the Geology Corner, and so on, feelings of envy and admiration fill the heart. The campus is much larger than we imagined, and it requires a lot of physical strength to visit all the rivers, lakes, and ponds in one go, but it does not affect our sentiment of cherishing youth here.

Tsinghua University, founded in 1911 and originally known as 'Tsinghua College', is one of the most renowned universities in China. The university is situated in the lush and shaded Tsinghua Garden. Originally a royal garden, its pavilions, towers, and bridges are beautifully reflected in the lakes and trees, creating an extremely picturesque environment. The western part of the campus is the old area, characterized by its American-style layout and numerous Western-style brick and stone structures, giving it an elegant and historically rich atmosphere. The eastern part of the campus was built in the 1950s, with the Soviet-style main building as the centerpiece. Since the 1990s, new buildings such as department buildings, a comprehensive sports hall, a swimming pool, and Zijing apartments have been constructed around the main building. These buildings are majestic and grand, yet quiet and comfortable. The campus is open to visitors during weekends, public holidays, and the summer and winter vacations. The visiting hours are divided into two sessions: 9:00 and 14:00. During the summer and winter vacations, Mondays are campus maintenance days, and the campus is closed to the public. If there are internal adjustments, rescheduling of classes, major events, or extreme weather conditions that make it unsuitable for opening, campus visits will also be temporarily suspended.
