If you are planning to visit Tongji to admire the cherry blossoms, mark your calendars!

From March 22 to April 13, reservations are required for entry to the Siping Road Campus of Tongji University during the cherry blossom season.

Limited Access

During the cherry blossom season from March 22 to April 13, 2025, Tongji University's Siping Road Campus will adopt a limited-access policy. Visitors eager to explore the campus during this period must secure reservations beforehand and are permitted to enter only on foot once their reservations are confirmed.

For those planning to visit the Jiading, Huxi, and Hubei campuses, the usual access procedures apply. Visitors can simply swipe their ID cards at the campus gate turnstile to gain entry on foot (or register with passports, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan passes, or other valid identification documents).

Please note that vehicle access to the campus is not available at this time. Social motor vehicles are strictly prohibited from entering. We encourage everyone to embrace eco-friendly travel options. In case of work-related visits, prior approval from the university's security office is required through an application submitted by a designated contact from a campus department.

Public Access Reservations (Exclusive to Siping Road Campus)

If you are planning to visit Tongji University's Siping Road Campus from March 22 to April 13, here is what you need to know. During this period, individual visitors are required to book their visits in advance through the "Off-campus Visitor Reservation System" using their real names. This service is free of charge. The campus will be open to visitors from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays and from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekends.

Beginning at 8:00 a.m. on March 21, you can easily access the reservation system by searching for "Tongji University Mobile Portal" on WeChat or by scanning the QR code.

Off-campus Access Reservation System

From March 22 onwards, visitors who have successfully booked their visits can simply walk into the campus through the designated entrance. Just swipe your ID cards or scan your "Suishen Code" at the turnstile. Carrying physical ID cards is strongly advised for seamless entry.

Exclusive Access Channel for Alumni

During the cherry blossom season, alumni can enjoy direct access to the Siping Road Campus. With your Tongji University electronic alumni cards, you can walk right in - no reservations needed (this privilege is for alumni use only).

From March 22 onwards, a new "Campus Access" feature will be integrated into the electronic alumni card interface. Before heading through the entrance, tap this button to activate a countdown indicator, which must be displayed to the security personnel for verification. Once verified, you are good to go! You can deactivate the indicator upon entry. Remember to show your valid IDs when asked, and please do not use someone else's credentials.
