About Hunan First Normal Historic Campus

The Class Eight classroom, assembly hall and Chengnan well give specific places to a story often told only through political biography. The campus architecture combines Chinese and Western influences and includes reconstruction. Visit the memorial areas identified for the public, keeping this Chengnan site separate from the university’s modern campus across the river.

What to look for

  • The Class Eight classroom and assembly-hall setting.
  • The Chengnan well and the interpretation of Mao’s years at the school.
