Now, there are over 1,000 cherry trees scattered across the campus.

In the mid-1980s, most of the visitors were local, but now, visitors come from all over the country, noted Wuhan University Professor Pan Yingchun.

In 2019, Wuhan University added turnstiles, which allows public visitors to enter the campus in three seconds with their ID after making an appointment online.

On March 8, the university issued a joint letter, saying that starting from next year, the campus will be open free of charge for three consecutive years for frontline medical staff and family members of those who are fighting COVID-19 during the pandemic in Hubei province.
