There's an opening in everything; that's how the light gets in. As the new semester starts, the campus is lit up with youthful vigor again. Let's take a one-day tour to see beautiful sights illuminated by light at SCNU.

Daylight in the morning

Every day, the first light of day falls on the buildings and wakes up thousands of students and teachers. The light uses its ways to greet diligent people.

The sunlight colors the statue of Kang Youwei, a prominent political thinker and reformer of the late Qing dynasty, on the Nanhai campus.

Every morning, many students on the University Town campus choose to ride shared bikes from the dormitory area to the teaching building to save time.

A bee is sucking nectar from flowers, starting its working day.

The morning dew has not evaporated and two small mushrooms grow from the moist grass.

The eldery are doing their morning exercise under a big tree.

A man is practicing the saxophone beside Cultural Square. 

Golden afternoon light

Golden light falls, making everything glow. Both people and animals enjoy bathing in the sunlight.

Sunlight filters through trees, shading buildings.

A lady is enjoying the beauty at the central lake.

Two girls are playing with each other happily in the shadow of a big tree.

A cat closes its eyes, lying in the beam of light.

Twilight, starlight and neon light

Twilight shimmers in the sky, reminding people that the day is going to end.

The glow of the setting sun shines over the library on the Nanhai campus.

A ray of the setting sun shoots directly at the library on the University Town campus, lighting up the school emblem.

Between the dormitory buildings, the red twilight leaks in.

Streetlamps line up along the sidewalk, taking night shifts.

When the night falls, the starlight arcs and outlines the No.1 Teaching Building on the Shipai campus.

Audiences at an open-air concert are waving colorful light sticks, along with the stage light, illuminating the performer.

Light illuminates the world and people's hearts, offering a sense of beauty. Welcome back to sparkling SCNU to discover more beauty at campus!
