Gymnasium

กก The gymnasium, distinguished for its historic and cultural value, has been one of the most beloved spots on campus for generations of Tsinghua graduates. It has been a gathering place for the most outstanding people in the field of physical education, bringing up thousands of talented athletes to represent China. Pioneers of physical education such as John Ma and Hao Gengshen taught there for decades.
The gym was constructed in two stages. The front hall, with its Western Classic architectural style, was built from 1916 to1919. The back hall was built from 1931 to 1932, and followed the same design style.

กก When it was founded, the gym was one of the most advanced of its kind in the country. It housed a basketball court, an suspension athletic track, and various kinds of athletic equipment. It now has an indoor swimming pool, which was used by former Chairman Mao Zedong after the liberation of China.
