Looking down from the top of Nanyong Mountain

We see the building of schools and lush trees

Have you ever paused to view the scenery at Xianlin?

We will take you on a tour around the campus

Come and explore

The School of Foreign Studies

A hundred meters south of Lizhao Lake there stand a cluster of department buildings.

The first building on the east side is the Qiaoyu Building of School of Foreign Studies.

A few steps to the west, turn right, and you will find the garden of SFS.

The vines in the garden are like waterfalls.

We gaze on Shakespeare from upstairs

And Shakespeare gazes into the distance.

Amidst the smiles of the golden little loquats.

Tao Garden

A dozen steps south of SFS is the Tao Garden.

A statue, bamboos, peach and plum blossoms

Commemorating Mr. Tao Xingzhi's advocacy of the unity of knowledge and action.

School of Liberal Arts

Walking past the two majestic lions at the front gate

We enter the Qi Garden of SLA.

At first glance, the garden is extremely narrow, but a few dozen steps through the wisteria corridor

Bring us to where it opens up.

Pour this small bottle of wine of landscape,

On all who love literature.

Department of Philosophy

Exit Qi Garden and go half way around the SLA building.

You can see the Department of Philosophy.

The garden witnesses endlessly deep thoughts.

Is that the tree root or stream of time intertwined?

School of Government

To the east, across the road and through the courtyard of the School of Government.

Blue hydrangeas are lined up on either side of the path.

The trillium and moonflower slant across the spacious courtyard.

The morning and evening shadows fall on the brightly colored petals.

In the building, the scholars are cultivating their minds and bodies

For the nation and the world.

School of Social and Behavioral Sciences

School of Government and the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences

stand back to back, forging ahead hand in hand.

The small courtyard of here is dense and forested.

Listen to the branches and leaves tell their stories.

Is it the fragrance of an individual or the shine of a group?

School of History

To the north, all the way north, into the world of the School of History.

Wisteria hanging in bright masses.

Zhuangzi says that heaven and earth are too beautiful to discribe.

The four seasons have a clear law that cannot comment, and all things have reasons that need not to discuss.

School of Journalism and Communication

The architecture of School of Journalism and Communication is mostly curved and gridded.

The light and shadows flow from dawn to dusk, and the morning and evening are full of charm.

The river of life meanders with time.

Walking alone in the garden, we are filled with a thousand emotions.

A university of a hundred and twenty years,

A campus of a decade and beyond

Four seasons of flowers and grass

Mornings bedewed,

Evenings decked with the moon.

NJUers at Xianlin, come pace in the courtyards in your leisure.

NJUers from Gulou and Pukou, come see the beauty of this place.

May we find boundless scenery within the bounds of our campus.
