About this place

The historic architecture faculty building of Chongqing University, entirely swallowed by cascading green ivy and ancient trees — a quietly dramatic piece of campus architecture that most visitors walk past without noticing.

Drifter says

"Inside the Chongqing University A Campus — take Metro Line 1 to Shapingba Station and walk in. Free to enter. The ivy-covered facade photographs best in spring and early summer when the leaves are densest. The quiet inner courtyards are genuinely atmospheric for portrait photography. Combine with a walk around Democratic Lake while you're in the campus."
