Zhaoqing University is situated in Zhaoqing City, a national tourist destination famous for its green hills and limestone crags. Zhaoqing is part of Guangdong Province’s Pearl River Delta, an early gateway into south China and an area with strong cultural traditions and educational foundations. Rich tourism resources, modern agriculture and trade and commerce make it a thriving region.

Zhaoqing enjoys fast and frequent road, rail and ferry links to Hong Kong and the provincial capital, Guangzhou. To the west of the city is Dinghu Mountain, one of Guangdong’s four famous peaks, and to the north is Star Lake, said to share the beauty of Guilin and Hangzhou’s West Lake. The university’s two campuses are close to both attractions.

Founded in 1970, Zhaoqing University is a state-run establishment and enrols students on four-year degree programmes. It has 1,049 members of staff, 675 of them are faculty members. 10,947 full-time students and 5,347 part-time students. The university is committed to promoting social and economic development in Zhaoqing and its neighbouring Yunfu district, both of which have a population of over seven million. Student enrolment has recently broadened to the whole province and even beyond. The university’s two campuses occupy an area of 67.73 hectares and have 349,215 square meters of floor space.
