Find the Century Star. This sculpture, once the peak of the 21st Century Square theme, now stands at the west end of the campus corridor. It marks the entrance to the 'Scientific Avenue' and serves as your starting point for the afternoon.
12:00
Walk five minutes east-southeast to the Alumni Culture Courtyard. This quiet garden space offers a moment of reflection away from the main thoroughfare, perfect for a short break before moving on.
12:30
Head six minutes east to the 'Teng' viewing spot. Here, steel grid structures from the demolished Liaoning Gymnasium rise from the ground. Look up to see how these heavy, industrial remnants defy gravity, symbolizing the city's resilient spirit.
13:00
End your walk at the Old School Gate. Located six minutes northeast of the anchor, this public art piece marks the historical threshold of the university. It is a fitting conclusion to a journey through the campus's evolving identity.
Local tip
The campus is large. Stick to the eastern side of the corridor to keep your walk short and avoid backtracking across the entire site.
