Sichuan Fine Arts Institute (Huangjueping Campus)

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute (Sichuan Fine Arts Institute), located in the centrally administered municipality of Chongqing, is a provincial-level undergraduate university with the authority to award master's degrees. It is one of China's 31 independent art colleges and universities, one of the eight major art academies in China, and a national model university for deepening innovation and entrepreneurship education reform.

The Sichuan Fine Arts Institute (Huangjueping Campus) isn't very large, but it's best known for its graffiti street outside the campus. The campus architecture is also quite distinctive. Public transportation from the city center isn't very convenient, requiring a transfer at Yangjiaping Subway Station. Take the bus from Yangjiu Road Intersection. Also, a word of caution: in Chongqing, it's best to consult locals; Baidu Maps is only a guide. It also tests your sense of direction. I didn't do much research on this trip; I just took a quick look and checked in, considering it a visit.

A very suitable place for artistic young people to take photos. Walking on the streets of the campus, you can see all kinds of graffiti on the walls and houses. They are colorful and should be the works created by the school students.

Because it was raining, there weren't many people here today. Normally, there would be a lot of girls taking photos. But the rain got heavier, so we had to take a few photos and leave in a hurry.

Because the old Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is in the city and the distance is relatively close, I chose this campus. In fact, I still recommend that you go to the new Sichuan Fine Arts Institute if you have time. There is nothing fun in the old Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and the scenery is also average. The recommended graffiti wall is also average. After visiting Malaysia, I feel that these graffiti are not particularly outstanding. I guess they are just some graffiti enthusiasts playing around. Later, tourists who came here would write something on it. The graffiti wall now is nothing more than a celebrity wall, filled with some celebrities' pictures.

This place is famous for its sculptures. It was only early January, probably because they were on vacation, so I didn't see many students. But there were quite a few tourists, mostly young people, college students, and girls who loved beauty and photography, visiting the attractions and taking artistic photos. There's no commercial atmosphere here. After all, this is a university with a rich cultural heritage, and the academic atmosphere is still strong. I looked it up and found that it was founded in 1940. On one side, the buildings are mottled and old, with vines entwined, while on the other side, modern buildings are under construction. The alternation of old and new, the changing times, has left a legacy of art and the changing aesthetics of this era.

The campus is not big and can be easily toured in more than 1.5 hours. There is a tank depot near it that you should not miss, as it has wonderful graffiti walls.

The outer walls of the campus are also covered with graffiti. It is said that Chinese people have liked to write inscriptions and stamps since ancient times, leaving their voices behind, so there are so many "I was here" inscriptions. The graffiti wall satisfies this mentality very well. Write your thoughts on the wall and let it withstand wind and rain. The long street has a colorful ink feeling, a bit like a condensed version of 798.

There's a graffiti street right in front of the Academy of Fine Arts. Those who love taking photos can really spend a lot of time shooting, as the photo yield is really high. It's also a great place to shoot a video on a graffiti street, which has a very story-like theme.

There's a stationery store next to Sichuan Fine Arts Institute where you can buy a paint pen to create your own "footprints" on the graffiti board. The academy isn't very large, and the several key check-in spots are easy to find, so you can explore them in no time. If you have more time and are interested in graffiti art, I recommend visiting the Huxi campus.

When discussing Chongqing's attractions, one unique aspect must be mentioned: graffiti art. The graffiti street in and around the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Huangjiaoping is a prime example. On the second day, I met up with local friends at Xiejiawan on Line 2 and took a bus to the institute. As soon as I stepped off the bus, I was captivated by the sight. The entire street, from buildings and walls to the campus and storefronts, was covered in graffiti, practically a giant 3D painting.

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is not far from the station. The institute has two campuses. The old campus is in Huangjueping, resembling a miniature version of Beijing's 798 art district, brimming with artistic flair. The campus is filled with creative sculptures, the most famous being the Tank Depot and the Chongqing Art Museum. Unfortunately, both were being demolished when I visited, likely due to the construction of a new campus in the university town. One way to experience campus culture is to eat in the cafeteria. Near noon, I ate before exploring the area. I ordered a few random dishes. It wasn't cheap, and compared to the all-you-can-eat meal I'd had in Jimei, Xiamen, for 9 yuan earlier this year, this 20-plus yuan meal was a bit underwhelming. Across the playground from the cafeteria is the Tank Depot. At the front of the two rows of garages is a tank, which serves as a studio. It's usually closed, and its exterior and graffiti are different, attracting many photographers.

There is actually not much to see in Sichuan Fine Arts Institute because of the construction going on everywhere. Let’s go out and visit Graffiti Street!

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute has two campuses. The new campus is near the University Town subway station, and there is a graffiti street near the old campus. Of course, I chose the old campus without a doubt.

There is an endless stream of tourists coming to Sichuan Beauty

Graffiti can be seen everywhere in the school, which is full of artistic atmosphere.

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute has a strong artistic atmosphere, and you can see highly designed and creative artworks everywhere. If you feel tired of shopping, you can go to the cafeteria to have some hot and sour noodles and drink milk tea.

The first thing I saw was Graffiti Street. It's a real internet sensation. The campus isn't very large, so it's not particularly interesting. I don't know why it's become a popular photo-op. There's also a tank warehouse, which is primarily an art gallery. I didn't take any photos, so if you're interested, go see it yourself. You can try Hu Ji Pig Flower Soup at the entrance to the school; many people from downtown come here specifically for it. Sichuan Fine Arts Institute finished its tour in an hour or two.

It is one of the most beautiful universities in China, and this praise is not without reason. As soon as I arrived at the college, I was amazed by the large area of blooming cherry blossoms at the entrance.

The sturdy green trees and the various graffiti on the red walls add a unique charm to the quiet campus.

Unique sculptures can be seen everywhere on campus, including jeans that are as tall as two people, dolls that hurt because their faces were pinched...

We spent a long time wandering around the "Tank Depot Chongqing Contemporary Art" center on campus. It was converted from an abandoned military warehouse. It houses artist studios with various functions, and the artists have used their imagination to inject endless fresh vitality into the space.

The Sichuan Fine Arts Institute has two campuses. I visited the old campus in Huangjueping. It's not large, but it has the feel of a typical university campus, complete with tree-lined avenues and slightly dated buildings. Perhaps it was because it was lunchtime, I heard the campus announcement as soon as I entered the gates. It made me nostalgic for my high school and college days, and a little sad that time has passed.

The campus is dotted with a variety of colorful sculptures, most of which are student-created works, fully demonstrating that this is an art school. The bright colors of these sculptures also add to the colorful campus.

Upon entering the Huangjueping campus of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, you'll see a unique sculpture: five people, forming a band, holding electric rock guitars, "standing" on a vertical wall.

Strolling around and taking photos at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, one can constantly feel the creativity and imagination of the entire academy. The sculptures within the academy embody its vibrant vitality, the stone maze represents the intertwining of art, and the massive statue "School Pants" represents the youthful energy of a relentless march forward.

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute's Huangjueping campus, also known as the old campus, is the most popular destination for visitors. Near the institute, you'll see strikingly graffitied residential buildings. It's said that the buildings, once slated for demolition, were painted with vibrant graffiti by faculty and students of the academy, creating a vibrant artistic landscape. This masterpiece not only preserved the buildings but also generated significant business opportunities. The buildings, once slated for demolition, have become a popular tourist attraction, attracting a surge of businesses to the ground floor.

As you enter the campus, you'll be greeted by tree-lined paths and a variety of interesting artworks – making it the perfect photo spot!

Stop and walk, appreciate the artistic scenery, and take photos for your own enjoyment. Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is a place that is very worth visiting. Don’t miss it when you come to Chongqing.

There were several stickmen gathered at the school gate, probably waiting for work.

The campus of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is full of art, and feels a bit like Beijing's 798 Art District. The open area for visitors is small, and the living area cannot be disturbed. After all, the campus still needs to ensure the normal study and life of students.

After leaving the school gate, the courtyard wall outside the school is colorful and brilliant, like an overturned palette.

After staying here for a long time and understanding it, what you see is not just the fringe of urban and rural areas, but the integration of urban life and culture and art.

I remember the first time I entered Sichuan Fine Arts Institute during high school, it was a scorching summer afternoon. The campus was empty because most students were hiding in their dormitories to cool off.

In fact, before the Huangjueping campus moved, by the time of our class, the snacks and night markets on the entire street had reached a new height, because there were more and more art exam candidates, and more and more candidates came to receive art training.

No matter how late you go out, you'll always find a pair of chopsticks on Huangjueping Main Street and the back street of the Academy of Fine Arts. Especially when I was working on my graduation project, at 3 a.m. you could still see the tiny orange lights lining the streets, and the aroma of spicy food rising from beneath them!

Come on! My dear, have some rice noodles! Noodles or rice vermicelli? — The stall owner is always so passionate.

But our class of art students marked a turning point in the history of the Huangjueping campus. The school began to relocate during our senior year, and the younger students who followed us bid farewell to Huangjueping and moved directly to the new campus. So, starting with the year I graduated, Huangjueping gradually declined.

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is located in Chongqing, a beautiful city with beautiful mountains and rivers. It is one of the 31 independent general art colleges and universities in China and one of the eight major art academies in China.



In 1940, Li Youxing, Professor Shen Fuwen, and other artists of the older generation founded the Sichuan Provincial Art College in Chengdu. According to the school's official website in March 2015, the school's campus is divided into the Huangjueping and Huxi campuses. The Huangjueping campus, located at 108 Huangjueping Main Street, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, covers 200 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) and is designated a "garden-style campus" by the municipal government. The Huxi campus, covering 1,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres), is located in the Chongqing Shapingba University Town, adjacent to Chongqing University and Chongqing Normal University. The school boasts 180,000 square meters of teaching and administrative space, with an average of 27.7 square meters per student. Teaching and research equipment is valued at 126 million yuan.

Exit A of Xiejiawan Station on Line 2, and take bus No. 223 or 823 from Xiejiawan Station to Huangjueping Zhengjie Station or Huangjueping Station.

During the epidemic, the Huangjueping campus of the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts is not open to the public. You can only visit the graffiti street and 501 Art Library in front of the academy.

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute has two campuses: Huangjueping and Huxi. The Huangjueping campus is home to the famous Graffiti Street, where buildings on both sides are covered in paintings. This unique street is a popular destination for young artists. The campus also houses the Chongqing Contemporary Art Museum, which offers a wealth of exciting art exhibitions.

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is not very big, but this should be just one of their campuses. It does have a strong artistic atmosphere, with many interesting graffiti and sculptures. It’s a pity that the weather was so hot and humid that day that we felt tired and sleepy after walking around for a while, and started looking for a place to rest nearby on our phones.

It's great and suitable for taking pictures. Some people went there but couldn't find the place. This milk tea shop is very attentive. There are messages written by tourists on the wall. When you come to Huangjueping, you must check in at the Fleet of Time milk tea shop, write down your own message, check in and take pictures, and drink milk tea. This is very nice.

The Huangjueping campus of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is more popular, which is also the old campus of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. I still recommend everyone to go to the new Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. The old Sichuan Fine Arts Institute has nothing to see, and the graffiti wall is also very ordinary. I don’t know why it has become a popular check-in spot.

One of Sichuan's must-see destinations: Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. The campus is beautiful, and there are many places displaying student artwork, making it a great place for photos and check-in, adding a touch of artistic flair to the otherwise ordinary campus. We also happened to be there during a student exhibition, and the variety of novel and creative graduation projects was truly eye-opening.

As we approached Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, we noticed more and more graffiti on the roadside. Sichuan Fine Arts Institute's internet-famous graffiti wall isn't actually a single wall, but rather the countless graffiti found throughout the entire neighborhood, and the core graffiti is undoubtedly TFBOYS. Yes, I seriously doubt Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is just populated by girls. The walls are covered in bold letters with the hottest names. Besides TFBOYS, there's also Kris Wu, Li Xian, and others. Li Xian just became famous not that long ago, so he's updating his profile pretty quickly. The most internet-famous spot is the tank base on campus, which is actually an art district. The most interesting thing is their imaginative design for the door. There's actually a tank at the very back, but it looks like a garbage dump.

The paintings on the buildings are truly stunning on first-time visitors. Walking along the street, looking at the graffiti on the walls, it's hard not to wonder which young girl's youth this is. Entering the campus, the greenery is beautiful, with many unique clay sculptures. But if you want to see more of the paintings, you must go inside! Go inside! Go inside! Don't be like me, impatient, coming and going in a hurry.

It is very suitable for taking pictures, and is highly recommended to friends who love taking pictures.

Especially the graffiti wall outside the Academy of Fine Arts, you must check it out (there are many people on this side of the school, so you can choose the alley opposite the school, which is also very nice for taking photos)

The school is not open to the public, but the art gallery inside is open to the public, so you can make an appointment in advance on the WeChat public account and then visit the school!

Back then, colleges were still open to the public, and the entire campus truly felt like an open-air art exhibition, with graffiti, sculptures, and more everywhere. Of course, most of the people who came to check in were girls.

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is Chongqing’s Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is China’s Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is also the world’s Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, it is indeed a palace-level art campus.

It is well-known throughout the country for its "mural" street and is worth a visit.

There are many children graffitiing the wall at the school gate. There are no students during holidays. The sightseeing bus at the gate has to wait a long time. By the way, the Traffic Tea House is opposite the bus stop.

I don't have any artistic talent, so I just come to take a look and take some photos. If I see something nice, I will just say "it's so beautiful". Hahahaha. I really don't have any artistic talent. 😂

People can take selfies in front of a bunch of graffiti

There's nothing much to say about this. Just look at the photos online and you'll know if it's worth a visit.

After the rain, the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute becomes even more artistic. The campus is quiet and pleasant, full of a strong artistic atmosphere, with a sense of age and fashion coexisting, and it is worth a visit.

The graffiti street, tank depot and sculptures are really nice.

The area of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is not very large, but it has a very artistic atmosphere.

The graffiti street is very unique and worth taking pictures.

There are not many people in the street anymore, as most of the students have moved out. You can take the subway to Yangjiaping, and then take bus 823, 223, or 233 to get to Graffiti Street. You can just take a quick look around, but girls might like to take pictures everywhere.

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is really a place worth visiting in Chongqing. It has two campuses. The Huxi campus is a bit far away, but it is better than the campus here.

Disappointed, I didn't understand what kind of art it was. It's not very popular and it's under renovation, which destroys the tranquility a bit.

The Huangjiaoping campus of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is famous for its graffiti street. But the most striking thing is the campus itself. The entire campus exudes a strong sense of antiquity, from the teaching buildings to the bluestone steps. Perhaps it was because it was a bit cloudy that day, but walking around the campus felt more calm, hahaha.

Two very colorful places -

1. There are several large cherry trees at the school entrance.

Although it's only early February, the cherry blossoms in Chongqing are already in bloom. What a pleasant surprise! Of course, there are also many people taking photos. If you find a good spot, use some tricks and take photos of the details, you can still take some beautiful photos.

2. Tank depot.

After entering the door, walk in and follow the crowd to find most of the places.

The atmosphere is really good, and it's full of artistic atmosphere. It's worthy of being called an artist's world. I feel like I learned a lot from walking through here.

It is considered an Internet celebrity attraction. The exterior walls of the residential buildings around the school are covered with various graffiti art paintings, which are very nice. The campus is also full of various literary and artistic atmospheres, and art galleries have exhibitions all year round.

This is a school full of artistic atmosphere with many details, but please don’t pursue perfection too much. Walking alone in it, you will feel as if you have returned to your student days.

It has now become a popular check-in destination for internet celebrities, with people coming and going, including many outsiders. It is recommended to be visited by students who like taking photos and art.

The Huangjueping campus of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute boasts a graffiti street. The tank exhibition is actually inside the campus!

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is truly a holy place for photography. There are many children sketching. Every stone and every leaf here is showing "I am from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute!" (As a graduate of the Department of Literature, I always have a kind of admiration for those who study art)

While the old campus of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute lacks direct rail access, you can take the subway to Yangjiaping Station, where numerous bus routes connect. Nestled among lush greenery, the unassuming entrance of the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute looms. Coinciding with graduation season, many classrooms at the institute are displaying students' graduation projects and are open to visitors. We spotted numerous creative projects focused on home, garden, and urban space. Sculptures are also a prominent feature of the campus, many of which have the potential to become memes.

This is the old campus, not very crowded with students or tourists. However, it's dotted with sculptures, reminiscent of a corner of Beijing's 798 Building, mostly abstract and modern. The campus also boasts numerous red-brick teaching buildings and archways, making them artistic and beautiful for photo opportunities.

At the end of Graffiti Street is Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. If you're visiting the campus, it's a great place to unleash your artistic spirit. We even bought some graffiti pens and wrote down our hopes for the year. There are always those with quirky ideas; could it be these art students?

The stone plaque at their door is very...low-key and seems to have a certain history.

There weren't many people inside. It was still drizzling, but many buildings were under construction.

Back to school days 39 minutes,

The Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts is not in Sichuan but in Chongqing. The buildings around the school are covered with graffiti, giving it a Hong Kong feel.

The Tank Depot exhibition was good, but the school was closed except for the playground, and the old campus was a bit small.

Check in Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. I feel that the scale is not as long as Xiamen Graffiti Street.

To be honest, this campus feels average. There are relatively few places to take photos after arriving here. I used my eyes to discover beauty and took the responsibility to take beautiful photos for everyone.

Walls throughout the campus were covered in graffiti.

Perhaps it's because it's off-season and there are fewer people. There's very little graffiti on campus, mostly on the buildings along the street in front of the school gate. But with time and no one repairing it, most of it has become mottled. The internet-famous Tank Depot also didn't have any exhibitions or events because it wasn't graduation season.

A glimpse of a corner of the campus and the graffiti street at the entrance~

Outside Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, there are graffiti-covered buildings, which is the most famous tourist attraction. There are many snacks nearby, which are relatively cheap.

The campus is a bit far from Yuzhong District, but the distance is not worth it. The campus is also very run-down, with only a few sculptures that are of some interest, but it cannot compare to Gome.

I saw three tanks at the entrance of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. Yes, tanks. It was the first time in my life that I saw real tanks moving, just driving past on the street. I know Sichuan Fine Arts Institute has a tank depot, but are they really driving on the street? Does anyone know?

Having been to so many art academies, Sichuan Fine Arts Institute gives me the impression that there is a lot of graffiti.

In late autumn, the ground is covered with fallen ginkgo leaves, the leaves on both sides of the sidewalk are gradually turning yellow, there are red walls, transparent windows, and few pedestrians.

This is the quiet campus

I've heard about the unique features of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute for a long time. I happened to visit here during the summer vacation. It's very unique. Of course, due to the dense trees and flowers on the campus, I was almost eaten by mosquitoes.

The Chongqing Art Museum and the Tank Gallery Art Center on campus are two must-see destinations. Besides their rich artistic atmosphere, they frequently host exhibitions. The most famous attraction is the Graffiti Street outside the school, where an entire street of buildings is covered in graffiti, making it the largest graffiti art complex in China and perhaps even the world. It has been a source of inspiration for many painters, photographers, and designers.

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute has many abstract sculptures. Forgive me for not knowing anything about sculpture and not knowing how to describe them. The campus is an old one, with mottled paint on the corridor walls and a ray of sunlight filtering in, making it perfect for taking photos.

Because we dislike crowded places, we skipped our planned visit to Ciqikou and opted instead for the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. We took photos, admired the artwork of their graduates, wandered the somewhat dated graffiti-filled street, and sampled the must-try snacks. It was a truly relaxing experience. We even tried Hu Ji's pig's trotter soup and Tikan tofu pudding.

The graffiti-covered residential building across from the school is so cute, isn't it? It's like someone slapped a cream cake on your face and forbade you from wiping it off. There are a lot of sculptures on display at the school.

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is a very suitable place for taking photos, and there won’t be many people during the National Day holiday.

The sun is shining brightly and the breeze is gentle. I love this place very much. The girl in the school is also very unique. I asked her for directions and she answered me with a faint smile on her face. She is a very cool girl.

Come to Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and take a look at the internet-famous wall. As one of the four major art academies in China, it is worth a visit. I have been to both CAFA and Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts. I feel that the colors of the clothes are brighter than the paintings on the ground.

Outside the school is a graffiti street, and the buildings on the roadside are covered with various graffiti, which is very distinctive.

Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is a popular check-in spot. The university has a strong artistic atmosphere and tourists taking photos can be seen everywhere.

This is a must-see for internet celebrities! Take a look at the photos! Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is really small, so I was done with it in just a short stroll! I can only say that internet celebrities are incredibly powerful! The graffiti street at the entrance is pretty good too.

The graffiti wall at the entrance of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute seems to have been damaged. - Because I have seen the new campus, the contrast is too obvious. If you have been to the new campus, you don’t need to go to the old campus specifically.

I've wanted to come and see it for a long time.

The text is too abstract, the film is too intuitive, the music is too sensational, and the dance is too exaggerated.

I've never been able to draw since I was a child, but I love color and beautiful things. Art, to be considered an art, requires considerable skill. Whether it's a photograph or a painting, it can't be achieved overnight, nor can it be fully grasped in a single glance. I really enjoy the feeling of staring blankly, waiting with fascination.

"As if time will never end, blending the old with the new." It's been almost three years since graduation, and time has flown by so quickly that I've never dared to admit I'm getting old. But here I am, looking at the signs welcoming new students at the school gate, at the familiar street-level shops and milk tea shops surrounding campus. How many people want to maintain a youthful mindset, retain a youthful appearance, and achieve immortality? How wonderful it would be if we could truly achieve that. I hope to be able to "blend the old with the new."

It is full of artistic atmosphere, and there are graffiti notes on almost every inch of the wall.

It was raining very heavily that day, so we could only stop here. There were many people gathered here taking pictures, probably to avoid the rain.

Every time I see the pattern, I want to laugh. It seems that there are toilet-like patterns everywhere on the walls of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. Maybe I don’t have artistic talent and can’t understand abstract beauty.

The buildings near Sichuan Fine Arts Institute are all covered in graffiti, giving the entire neighborhood an artistic feel. Hot pot and skewers, like art supply stores, provide a living for these people.

I really like this school. I can wear strange clothes to attend classes, go to bars on campus, and be both outgoing and low-key.

First, there were the internet-famous graffiti buildings. But as the internet says, the graffiti is old, not only faded but much of it peeling, making it unappealing. Entering the campus, most of the buildings are quite old, but the sculptures everywhere clearly indicate that this is an art school. It feels like there are no students, just tourists visiting and taking photos. Strolling quietly is quite relaxing. The environment is beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable. A pure love at a university like this would be something you'd remember forever.

It's a small community that can be walked through in half an hour. There are many works of art inside, you can take pictures

Maybe my expectations for Sichuan Fine Arts Institute were too high. Putting aside the cultural connotations, the place I had been thinking about for so long really disappointed me. TT, it was old and deserted, with reconstruction going on everywhere. Accompanied by the drizzle, there was no beauty at all. It took me about ten minutes to walk back and forth on the campus.
