Located in Nanjing, the ancient capital of six dynasties through Chinese history, Nanjing Normal University (NNU) is one of the country’s key provincial universities. Its origin can be traced back to 1902 with the establishment of the Sanjiang Normal College – one of the cradles of China’s higher normal schools. NNU has three campuses – Xianlin, Suiyuan and Zijin – of which Suiyuan Campus is renowned as “the most beautiful campus of the Orient”. [Photo/IC]
