Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) has five campuses, namely Xuhui Campus, Changning Campus, Qibao Campus, Huangpu Campus and Minhang Campus, each with distinct positioning and unique cultural connotations.

Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) Changning Campus, formerly “Fahua” Campus, is a site of millennium-long historical and cultural heritage. It sits on the former grounds of Fahua Zhen Temple (founded in 970, Northern Song Dynasty) and carries the historical legacy of Fahua Town—one of Shanghai’s earliest-established towns. Since its transfer to SJTU in 1959, the campus has served as a base for units including the School of Continuing Education, and has been the base of the Lifelong Education College since 2021. Historical relics such as the temple’s ancient well and SJTU’s "Yinshui Siyuan" spirit are well preserved, sustaining its cultural continuity.

While honoring its profound history, Changning Campus also occupies a prime location in Shanghai’s urban core. Bounded by Huaihai West Road (east) and Yan’an West Road (west), it is adjacent to Xinhua Road—a thoroughfare rich in cultural heritage. With easy access to Metro Lines 10 and 11 (Jiaotong University Station) and multiple bus routes, it connects conveniently to Shanghai Railway Station, Hongqiao Hub, and major commercial districts. Near the Xinhua Road Historical and Cultural Conservation Area, the campus enables access to modern urban amenities while offering a humanistic atmosphere rooted in its millennium-long history—making it a distinctive part of SJTU.
