About Former Hangchow University (Zhijiang Campus)
The hillside campus above the Qiantang River of Hangchow University, a Presbyterian missionary college whose roots go back to a boys' school founded in Ningbo in 1845 and which was closed in 1952. Its 22 protected buildings, among them a red-brick clock tower and the Duke Hall chapel of 1917–19, have been used by Zhejiang University since 1961 and now house its law school.
