The crabapple blossoms lined at both the Weijin Road Campus and the Peiyangyuan Campus are bursting into color in a beautiful display of floral fireworks.

Residents, tourists, and alumni from afar are heading to the scenic Tianjin University campuses to enjoy crabapple blossoms and reminisce about their youth.

During the celebration, various activities, performances, and exhibitions will be held, such as campus tours, performances by the Peiyang Arts Troupe and other organizations on the campus, a Tianjin University History Museum tour, an alumni reception, and various exhibitions of technology and culture.
