An underrated city in Hunan! The old western-style buildings are stunning...

Yueyang, a small city, hides a beautiful group of western-style buildings. It was built in the late Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 120 years. It was once one of the earliest universities in Hunan. Nowadays, you can't hear the sound of reading, you can't see the students, only a few lonely western-style buildings stand on the shore of Dongting Lake. The campus buildings are roughly divided into three levels according to the mountain. The top of the mountain is the main teaching area and the main building area. Along the edge of the mountain top, walking in the long tree-lined path, the green brick road under your feet squeaks, the deeper you go into the University of Lakefront, the stronger the retro feeling will be. Plus, the sun is sprinkled from the towering ancient trees, leaving mottled light and shadow on the ground, as if traveling from reality to the movie. Many are typical European-style buildings, basically all are villa-style small western-style buildings. If you look carefully, you will find that these western-style buildings also have some Chinese elements mixed in. You can see the Chinese style in the large corridor and archway buildings. Although the university has a history of 100 years, it only existed for seven years. The rest of the time was constantly reorganized and split into other schools. Walking among the ancient buildings, you can see the simplicity and solemnity of the buildings and feel the precipitation of time.
