Guangzhou Yang Qiwei: Entering Stanford University, the "Harvard of the West" in the United States. When we walked into Stanford University, known as the "Harvard of the West in the United States," we were immediately impressed by its profound cultural and historical heritage and Spanish mission hall-style architectural style. Stanford University is located in Stanford, California, near San Francisco. It is recognized as one of the most outstanding universities in the world. It ranks first in the United States academically and fourth overall, and is rated the fifth star university in the United States. It covers an area of ​​35 square kilometers and is the second largest university in the United States. If Harvard and Yale represent the traditional American humanistic spirit, then Stanford University is a symbol of the scientific and technological spirit of the 21st century. Even Chelsea, the only daughter of US President Clinton, chose Stanford University, which shows its strength and reputation. The buildings on the Stanford University campus follow the missionary style architecture of Spain in the 17th century, integrating modern civilization and ancient traditional art. In the intersection of classical and modern, they are full of strong cultural and academic atmosphere. The exterior walls of all buildings are built with solid stone, giving the buildings a sense of vertical weight, adding a bit of simplicity to their richness, and a bit of perseverance to their elegance. When entering the campus, the first thing you see is a series of red-roofed buildings surrounded by earth-yellow stone walls, with connected arcades and rows of brown shackles, giving people a feeling of elegance, solemnity, freshness and pleasantness. Stanford Memorial Church is the most famous building in Stanford University. The layout and decoration inside the church are very exquisite. The designer of the church is the famous designer Frederick? #27431; Mstead. The Main Quad is the main part of the Stanford campus. The School of Business, School of Geosciences, School of Education, School of Engineering, School of Law, School of Medicine, School of Art, etc. are surrounded by stars like stars. Outside, there are the Stanford Science Park, botanical gardens, golf courses and several scientific testing sites. We wandered on the endless lawn of Stanford University, and our mood was as warm and comfortable as the bright sunshine. On the lawn, students of different nationalities, different cultural backgrounds, and different skin colors were holding books and reading intently, some were sitting around in groups, discussing academic issues enthusiastically, and some were sunbathing in short sportswear. When we walked to the outermost art school, we happened to catch up with teachers and students holding an art salon. Many art works were attached to brackets and formed in a circle. The staff were busy, and while I stood watching with interest, I was thinking to myself, it would be great if my younger sister and brother-in-law from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts came here, so that they could communicate with each other. Because we are laymen, we can only watch the excitement. It is no exaggeration to say that Stanford University has made outstanding contributions to human civilization, scientific and technological progress, global political economy and modern business development. It has cultivated batches of scientific and technological elites and Nobel Prize winners, laid the foundation and created the famous American Silicon Valley, and nurtured the world-renowned modern scientific and technological culture! An American president, Hoover, also walked out of Stanford University. To commemorate this American president, the Hoover Tower was built on the campus. It is said that from the tower, you can have a panoramic view of the magnificent and well-proportioned buildings on the entire campus. Finally, we visited the photo exhibition and learned through the electronic screen introduction in the library that there are many science and technology groups and companies gathered around Stanford University. Students at Stanford University can directly connect and communicate with high technology, the business world, and also with pragmatism and pioneering spirit. With the rise of the high-tech belt on the west coast of the United States, many computer companies, including the "darling of the century" Microsoft, have set up camp here. In this way, Stanford University's identity becomes increasingly important, and its prospects become even more immeasurable.
