Near the centre of this university are a number of artistic, cultural, and historical artefacts, one of these is this sundial. It is a large device. The gnomon is a long and silver. It sits on a black slab. The face plate is a circular, paved area around the slab. There are no marked hours on the face plate, but there are 12 hour dividers. It is a rather attractive sundial, however, I surmise that it is intended to be more decorative than functional.
There is a slight difference between my gps position and Google maps, however, Gmaps in China invariably seem to be a little off so I left the waymark location where it is, rather than move it to the Gmaps position. The two are only a dozen or so metres apart.
Sundial Type: Horizontal - Flat base, Ground or Pedestal mounted dial plate
