🌟 University of Leeds Guide 📚

As part of our annual UK study tours, where we bring 60 Chinese families for short-term immersion in British private schools, we’ve curated this exclusive guide to exploring Leeds University—perfect for parents while their kids are in class! 📍 Start at the Textiles School Bench 🪑 Outside the School of Design, a wooden bench is often adorned with flowers and photos—a pilgrimage site for Leslie Cheung fans. In 1976, a 20-year-old Leslie studied here, and today, visitors sit quietly, soaking in the same red-brick walls and ivy-covered arches he once admired. ✨ Tip: Visit at sunrise or late afternoon for crowd-free photos. White tulips (Leslie’s favorite) often grace the bench. 🚶 Campus Walking Route 🏛 Parkinson Building The uni’s Gothic clocktower is iconic. Inside, the Brotherton Library feels like Hogwarts—spiral staircases, vaulted ceilings, and antique bookshelves! 🪑 School of Design & Memorial Corner Beyond the bench, find Leslie’s student photos on the walls and 1970s textile machinery displays (retro-industrial vibes!). 🎓 Great Hall Where graduation ceremonies unfold under stained-glass windows. Walk the halls Leslie might have passed through. 💼 Leeds Business School A 5-min walk to the triple-accredited school—glass and red-brick fusion. Nearby M&S Archive (free entry) is a bonus! 🍽 Food Guide 🍳 British Brunch: Ox Club (Headrow House) – Yorkshire pudding + grilled steak (£25pp). 🍚 Chinese Comfort: Maxi’s Roast (crispy duck) & Xiangxi Flavors (spicy rice tofu). 🍜 Instagram Ramen: House of FU – pink décor + tonkotsu ramen with soft-boiled eggs. 🌦 Pro Tips 📅 Best Time: June-August (picnics + lake boating!). 👗 Outfit Idea: Beige trench coats or vintage dresses pop against red-brick backdrops. "Sitting on Leslie’s bench, you’ll feel Leeds’ quiet magic—where time lingers, and the light through hexagonal windows still whispers 1976." #LeedsUniversity #LeslieCheung #UKStudyTour #BritishRedBrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
