The university campus is on the former site of Qing dynasty imperial gardens and it retains traditional Chinese-style landscaping, including traditional houses, gardens, pagodas, and notable historical buildings and structures.  American architect and art historian [[Talbot Hamlin]] designed some of the university's buildings constructed during the 1919 to 1922 period.<ref>{{cite web |title=Talbot F.

Weiming Lake is in the north of the campus and is surrounded by walking paths and small gardens. The university hosts many museums, such as the Museum of University History and the [[Arthur M. Sackler]] Museum of Art and Archaeology.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sackler.org/china/amschina.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110411233326/http://www.sackler.org/china/amschina.htm|url-status=dead|title=Arthur M.

There are ritual pottery vessels as well as elaborate pieces of jewelry on display. There are also human bones set up in the traditional burial style of that period.<ref name="dest" />

Beyond its main campus, [[Peking University Health Science Center]] (PKUHSC) is on Xueyuan Road where the country's most distinguished colleges are, and is a fitting site for academics and research.

During the [[Third Front (China)|Third Front]] construction, Peking University opened a branch in [[Hanzhong]], Shaanxi.<ref name=":9">{{Cite book |last1=Marquis |first1=Christopher |url= |title=Mao and Markets: The Communist Roots of Chinese Enterprise |last2=Qiao |first2=Kunyuan |date=2022 |publisher=[[Yale University Press]] |isbn=978-0-300-26883-6 |location=New Haven |doi=10.2307/j.ctv3006z6k |jstor=j.ctv3006z6k |oclc=1348572572 |author-link=Christopher Marquis |s2cid=253067190}}</ref>{{Rp|page=179}}
