It's already chilly in autumn outside, but it's very hot indoors. Every Saturday afternoon, Pei Zhao Hong will play with his golfers here.

Ji Xianlin, a master of Chinese studies, once said, "Anyone who has studied in Tsinghua will never forget the two museums". One of them is the gymnasium. The famous mathematician Chen Shengshen also recalled a popular sentence at that time: "Peking University has Hu Shizhi and Tsinghua has a gymnasium."

This is the gymnasium where Ji Xianlin and Chen Sheng live, and it is also the gymnasium in Tsinghua people.

Located near the playground of Xida University, the West District Gymnasium is one of the famous "Four Buildings" in the early days, which can also be called the "granddaddy" of sports facilities in Tsinghua. Its front hall was built in 19 19, and its back hall was expanded in 193 1. There are basketball courts, handball courts, suspended runways and heating and hot air drying equipment in the museum. The indoor swimming pool is disinfected with water source, which is very clean and hygienic. This was unique among universities in China at that time, and Tsinghua people was proud of it for a long time.

The West District Gymnasium has always been an important place for indoor sports activities and competitions between teachers and students. As the cradle of sports development in Tsinghua, it has gathered a group of pioneers and elites in the field of sports in China, and trained tens of thousands of excellent talents with good health and harmonious body and mind for the country.
