I want to talk about Jiangnan, not the "Jiangnan" of "Jiangnan Water Town", but the "Jiangnan" of "Jiangnan Jiangbei". "Jiangnan Water Town" is in China, and "Jiangnan Jiangbei of Hanjiang River" is in South Korea.
A Han River divides Seoul into Jiangnan and Jiangbei. When traveling to Seoul, people always eat in Jiangbei and shop in Jiangnan.
Indeed, Jiangbei belongs to the old city, which has precipitated the foundation and heritage of the capital. Traditional buildings, such as ancient palaces and Hankook, are located in Jiangbei, which also gave birth to 95% universities in Seoul. Many famous universities are also located in Jiangbei, such as Yonsei University, Kyung Hee University, Sungkyunkwan University and so on, including Hanyang University (hereinafter referred to as Hanyang University), half of my alma mater. Jiangnan is a new development and construction area. Korean dramas tell us that those rich areas are all in the south of the Yangtze River. What is said in Korean dramas is also the real Seoul.
Ewha Women's University (hereinafter referred to as Ewha Women's University) and Hongyi University (hereinafter referred to as Hongda University) don't know whether the geographical location is particularly good or not, and a well-known business circle, fashionable clothes, cosmetics and restaurants are unconsciously formed around them. So that Ewha Women's University and Hongda University have become one of the must-see attractions. Of course, they are all beautiful. In particular, Ewha Women's University, with European architecture, green trees and flowers, and beautiful women like clouds, constitutes a picturesque landscape.
However, in front of Seoul National University, they may all feel ashamed. The highest recognized institution of higher learning in Korea is even more beautiful.
Seoul National University is in Jiangnan, and Hanyang University, which I exchanged, is in Jiangbei. I didn't stay with my roommate until the exchange period ended and he wanted to take pictures. My roommate is from Xiamen, studying in Taiwan Province Province. She said that when their classmates graduated, they would take photos in universities all over Taiwan Province Province in bachelor's uniforms. She can't go to Taiwan Province Province with them, so she can travel all over Seoul. I always thought I was a girl with a rough life, but I admired the exquisiteness of girls in Taiwan Province Province.
In the past, there was a separate "Seoul National University" station on the subway. I didn't see Seoul National University when I got out of the station. Passers-by told us to follow this road to the end. It's just that I didn't expect to go that far. I know it's a long way from an ordinary university in Seoul to the subway station. Unlike my Hanyang University, the subway is built directly in the school, because it is said that the subway station of Hanyang University was designed by our alumni. After all, it is the best science and engineering university in Korea. But when I walked to Seoul National University, I walked for half an hour.
Although I regret not taking the bus (we still took the bus on the way back, or walked around the campus directly), I am glad that it was this walk that made me see more beautiful scenery. The road is not narrow, but there are not many cars. Along the slope, the deeper you go, the more you can feel the fairy spirit on the top of the mountain. The fog is really there. Universities hidden in the mountains, perhaps far away from cities, are more conducive to academic research.
Someone once told me: "Look at a university with three places, namely the gate, the library and the playground."
It is said that the gate of Seoul National University was designed by students majoring in fine arts at Seoul National University (it was once suspected that such a culture might be popular in South Korea). The main entrance presents a "?" They are taken from the syllables of National, Seoul and University respectively, and "?" In the right half like a key, it is in line with the school motto "Truth is my light".
This playground, known as "the most beautiful playground in Korea", should be like this in the sky and underground. I don't know if students from Seoul National University will feel like walking on clouds when they play football here. A somersault cloud, an easy home run. The green lawn echoes the surrounding lush mountains. Of course, there is not much difference between the two. After all, she is already at the top of the mountain, and you can also overlook the vitality at the foot of the mountain from the playground.
The library is located in the highest place, which means climbing the peak of knowledge. It is inlaid with glass from top to bottom, and you can see the spacious and grand inside from the door. The elevator facing the door is very long. But there is a security guard at the door, so you can't get in without a student ID card. Students can still go in and out of the library on weekends, and the non-test week is the most among so many Korean universities I have been to.
Another unique feature of Seoul National University is its culture and art ... The paintings, handicrafts and cultural relics of MoA Art Museum, Museum and Zhang Kui Pavilion are all good things not to be missed!
As the most beautiful campus in Korea, this university, located in the rich area, declares its unshakable position in Korean education to the world.
Go to Korea, such a beautiful and intelligent campus, don't miss it, to infect her wealth and fairy spirit.
