You would not want to miss the chance to roam around HUST in spring. Take your camera, for wherever you go, you will find yourself standing in front of a breathtakingly beautiful painting drawn by mother nature.
Every avenue is decorated with shady trees. Sycamore, elm, poplar and linden, with their masses of dense foliage, work in a harmonious way and create a paradise briming with life. One can not look away without catching a soft shade of green.
On the lawn around the main library, prunus japonica are in full bloom, their petals as pink as the rosy cheeks of a fair maiden. Numerous students and tourists stop by the trees and take photos.
Two lines of jasminum nudiflorum at both sides of Juewangpo (Road of Despair in Chines), stretching 2 miles from east to west, shine brilliantly in their bright yellow. Instead of feeling dismayed by the long ascent, Bikers on Juewangpo now may find it a joyride filled with freshness.
Around D9 Building, pink and white maglonias stand among a mass of green, leaving a soft pink carpet of fallen petals. Several photina serrulatas shed their dark green skin and grow to a purplish red. Strips of willows hang from riverside, and dance to the gentle rhythm of the breeze.
"I love the spring of HUST. One word to put it, it’s soul-reviving!” a foreign student answered when asked about the impression of the campus.
