Open Space
Free Access to Campus Facilities
Our main campus is open to the public during opening hours throughout the year. Surrounded by nature and greenery, Lingnan University provides a great environment for cultural exchange and intellectual development. With the cultural and educational activities held at the Wing On Plaza, Kin Sun Square, Contemporary Garden and Pavilion, staff, students and local community can enjoy the environment of learning and exploration.
In line with the University’s commitment on minimization of plastic use and disposable items, filtered touchless drinking fountains are provided around the campus for free access. All members of the community are encouraged to bring their own bottles to refill drinking water at these stations.
Wing On Plaza 永安廣場
Situated at the centre of Lingnan University, Wing On Plaza is an iconic gem among local community. You can enjoy beautiful sunshine under lychee trees and many other luxuriant plants. Occasionally you may be surprised by the various University-wide activities held here, festive markets, sports demonstrations, and many more. Years of wonderful memories built on this spacious plaza.
Kin Sun Square 乾新坊
With the penetration of sunshine under the skylight, many student activities, such as performances and exhibitions, are held at Kin Sun Square where you can feel the energy of our University throughout the year.
Contemporary Garden 現代花園
The Contemporary Garden is a wonderful place for the enjoyment of natural music and a peace of mind. Apart from lush greenery, there are two impressive statues erected in the garden.
Walking in the Garden, your sight naturally falls onto the centrepiece – the bronze-colored statue named “Effort” (“Esfuerzo” in Spanish) by renowned Mexican sculptor Mr. José Sacal. The sculpture, donated by Mr. Sacal himself, symbolizes man’s struggle to improve or better himself through education, reminding us of our University's commitment to nurture students through the best education.
Next to the Pavilion After the Rain in the Contemporary Garden, Dr. Sun Yat-sen bronze statue commands a central location that faces the major pedestrian walkway. It shows Dr. Sun holding a book inscribed with the “Three People’s Principles”, i.e. “Government of the people, by the people, and for the people”. The four Chinese characters “Tian Xia Wei Gong” (meaning “the world is for everyone”) on the base of the statue illustrate Dr Sun’s vision of an ideal world.
All are welcome to relish these beautiful art pieces.
