When you gaze at the surroundings from any spots on this new campus, you will recognise why Chung Chi selected this location as our College site. It truly embodies the phrase “picturesque scenery of beautiful mountains and waters”. Here, not only can we cultivate our minds with the splendid landscape, but we can also escape the city’s hustle and bustle, and study peacefully. In such a tranquil and lovely environment, it would be no wonder if talents nurtured generation after generation.
