Hangchow University, Historical university site in Hangzhou, China
The former Hangchow University campus stretches across 43 hectares along the Qiantang River, next to the Six Harmonies Pagoda in Zhejiang Province.
Founded in 1845 as a Christian missionary school in Ningbo, the institution relocated to Hangzhou in 1867 and became Hangchow University in 1914.
The university issued its first academic degrees in 1922, introducing Western-style graduation caps and gowns to the academic ceremonies in China.
The historical complex, now part of Zhejiang University Zhijiang Campus, contains preserved buildings that showcase educational architecture from the early 20th century.
The campus received its name from its location at a Z-shaped bend of the Qiantang River, with 'Zhi' meaning the character for the letter Z.
