Postcard for 2019 Crabapple Blossom Festival at TJU

Nothing can be compared to the blooming of crabapple trees or to the crabapple blossom festival celebrating the arrival of spring at Tianjin University (TJU).

The 2019 Crabapple Blossom Festival at TJU opened on March 31, 2019. It is an event that not only witnesses the kick-off of spring but symbolizes the glorious history of TJU and precious memories for students, teachers and alumni as well.

The blossoming crabapple trees, covered with pale pink and white flowers and giving off a faint fragrance, adorn roads and corners, and change the campuses into a carnival of elegant flowers. The swaying branches in the spring breeze greet visitors who share the desire to experience TJU’s breathtaking beauty.

With the theme of "Pursuing Dreams in the New Era", the 2019 Crabapple Blossom Festival at TJU features a variety of activities such as visits to the TJU History Museum, enrollment consultations, alumni receptions and scientific and cultural interactive displays in both the Weijin Road Campus and the Peiyangyuan Campus. There will also be postcards and souvenirs prepared for the visitors so they can take the memory back home. Alumni and people from all walks of life are welcome to enjoy the festival.

Sightseeing on the Weijin Road Campus, which is located in downtown areas, will be challenging. Therefore, it is recommended that visitors choose environmental-friendly ways such as public transportation to get to the campus. What’s more, traffic controls will be enforced in some campus areas.
