As part of our virtual campus tour series, today we take you to… Renmin University’s first campus!

Not many know that our university’s first location was in downtown Beijing, just a few steps away from the Forbidden City, the heart of the city.

Although it is no longer used for teaching purposes, the Old Campus is a hidden gem of the university and a favourite destination for those who seek tranquillity and history. Visitors are often surprised to find a peaceful oasis in the midst of the bustling city. With its beautiful gardens  the Old Campus is a perfect place to escape from the busy streets of Beijing.

The old campus is not used for teaching anymore and its peacefulness made it a popular destination among Renmin University’s furry friends… adorable cats that have become the mascots of this campus.
