Touring a campus steeped in history and culture, they relished an atmosphere blending leisurely fun with academic solemnity.





From the mesmerizing particle art installations in the School of Arts to the dancing robots and the dazzling chemical reactions in science labs, the exhibitions and activities sparked waves of delight and wonder — fueling students’ curiosity and passion for discovery.
