The entire building is "concave"-shaped, with blue bricks filled with exterior walls and red bricks outline the frame and window lintels. The columns, liners and flower decorations are made of stone, and a large clock on the top is placed. There is an open-air corridor outside the ground floor of the northern facade. The corridor is divided into two sides by the gate, each side is divided into three rooms, and a pier is built with red bricks at the bottom. There are six Roman-style classical stone pillars on both sides, which adds to the level changes of the wall facade. The rose windows of the bell tower are very exquisite and are also a major style of this building.

However, in normal times, if you search for "Suzhou University" on the official account, you can make an appointment to visit the school, but the quota is limited. For those who want to visit the school, it is recommended to pay attention to the opening time of the Suzhou official account and make an appointment in advance.
