Beautiful Campus Environment
Wuzhou University is situated in Wuzhou, a city in the east of Guangxi with a long history. Wuzhou is rich in cultural relics, and has always enjoyed the reputation of an ancient city with a history of more than 2000 years, a trading port with a history of more than 100 years, a city named as a palace on the waters in Lingnan area, a city honored as a brightly-shining pearl on the Xijiang River, a city known as little Hong Kong, and so on. Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, visited Wuzhou twice and left a very beautiful line for the city, reading “the clear waters of the Yuanyang River eclipse those elsewhere”. The campus is crisscrossed with main roads of 18 meters wide. The symbolic buildings, i.e. the comprehensive teaching building, the library, the gymnasium, and the sports ground with shelter, etc. are among the best of their kinds in the institutions of higher education in Guangxi. Areas with different functions are naturally separated by the geological arrangement of small hills, and linked with each other by the tunnel and the main roads. The campus is quiet and arranged in good taste and it has a peculiar charm with green hills and clear waters, with willow trees and bright flowers, with snaking paths here and there.
