Peking University(北京大学)

Peking University, also called Yan Yuan (the garden of Yan), includes ShuchunGarden, Shao Garden, LangrunGarden, JingchunGarden, MingheGarden, WeixiuGarden, Changchun Garden, ChengzeGarden and others. This former well-known royal garden in the Ming and Qing dynasties has remained its basic structure and beautiful charm after hundred years of vicissitude. The Yan Yuan in spring should be the paradise on earth, with the fascinating sceneries scattering like starts.

Deep in the south of the Yan Yuan, there is a serene park with lush trees, fragrant flowers, and twittering birds. That is YannanGarden, honored as “the garden in gardens”. A walk into YannanGarden may take you travel across time and get back to Peiping. When Yan Yuan was initially constructed, teachers of Peking University used to live here, including the couples of Bingxin (Xie Wanying, litterateur), Zhu Guangqian (aesthetician), Zhou Peiyuan (dynamicist), Ma Yinchu (economist and the former President of Peking University), and Feng Youlan (philosopher), making the park home to the spirits of Peking University.

Many statues of celebrities could also be found in the campus. The public memorial ceremony and the 150th anniversary of the birthday of CaiYuanpei, China’s well-known educator, revolutionist, and ideologist, were both held in Jing Garden during this QingmingFestival when representatives of Peking University stood before the revolutionary martyr's monument and showed their grief.
