Discovering Hefei Beyond the Campus!
On 13 September 2026, USTC’s new international students explored the city beyond campus during a city tour organized by the USTC Foreign Students Association.
From Chinese art and culture to local history and the remarkable figures who have helped shape Anhui, each stop offered a new glimpse into the city and the province.
After a day of exploring, the tour ended on a more relaxed note at Anshang Grassland. With the wide-open view of Chaohu Lake and the fresh autumn air around them, students had time to slow down, chat about their studies and research, exchange stories, take photos, and simply enjoy one another’s company.
Different countries, different cultures, different journeys — but now connected by one shared identity: USTCers. 💙
A memorable day of discovery, friendship, and a little more understanding of the city we are beginning to call home.
Welcome to Hefei, and welcome to USTC! 🎉
