      • New Asia College is a constituent college of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, a public university in New Territories, Hong Kong.


      Campus


      The college locates on a mount in the university with an excellent view to Tide Cove and Ma On Shan. A circular road New Asia Circle (新亞坊) encircles the campus with New Asia Road (新亞路) leading to the central of the university, and United Road to United College, and Cheng Ming Link (誠明徑) to student residences.


      History


      New Asia College was founded in 1949 by Chinese scholars Ch'ien Mu (Qian Mu), Tang Junyi (Tang Chun-i), and Zhang Pijie (Tchang Pi-kai), in Hong Kong, then a British dependency, after the Communist victory in mainland China.
      In 1963, the college joined forces with United College and Chung Chi College to form the Chinese University of Hong Kong under a charter granted by the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. The college has since then become a research and educational hub for Confucian philosophy and Chinese studies.
