the foot of the beautiful mountain.

It covers an area of one thousand

Mu. There are good public transpo

The campus has plenty of well-equipped facilities, including modern teaching buildings, two libraries, one gym, dormitories and recreation centers for students to study and live in. Besides, there are a large number of excellent experienced professors and tutors of PH.D,

and the range of courses is very wide, so the standard of teaching is at the top class. In conclusion, the university has a long history and culture as well as the first-class teaching conditions.
