The former site of Zhijiang University, located west of the Six Harmonies Pagoda on Hangfu Road, was a church school established by the United Presbyterian Church of North America. It now preserves over 20 buildings, including the bell tower, main building, library, Shensi Hall, and Duck Hall. The entire architectural layout features varied elevations and blends harmoniously with the surrounding spatial environment. The overall structure has remained largely unchanged since the liberation period, making it one of the more intact preserved church universities in China today.
