Former Fu Jen Catholic University

Walking east along Dingfu Street to the end, you can see a majestic Chinese palace-style building. The main gate is a white marble arch with a pattern of rocks and pine trees carved on it; the roof is three ordered gable roofs covered with green glazed tiles, and there are stone arches imitating the traditional Chinese wooden arches at the bottom, with corner towers at the four corners. This is the former site of Fu Jen Catholic University, another predecessor of Beijing Normal University.

Fu Jen Catholic University was founded in 1925, and completed in 1930. The main building of Fu Jen Catholic University integrates Chinese and Western architectural elements, and is magnificent and elegant.

In 1951, the People's Government took over Fu Jen Catholic University, and in 1952, it was merged into Beijing Normal University. Later, it became the Department of Chemistry of Beijing Normal University, and now it is the Continuing Education College of Beijing Normal University.
