Inside Campus A of Chongqing University, where our offices are located, there is a small lake called “Minzhu Lake”. Around this place, older people, families and little kids gather to spend some time surrounded by the beauty of nature.  One of the most interesting aspects of Chongqing Universities is that they are often open to local citizens and visitors. In Chongqing University people live with their own homes on campuses, and carry out numerous activities, both professional and private. Its is possible to see older people train and exercise, or simply enjoy the peaceful environment near the lake.

All the pics in this post were taken by Alessandra Burini, student at Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, during her visit to Chongqing last year.
