New Asia College

The college is located on a mount in the university campus 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.

Facilities include the New Asia College Ch'ien Mu Library, the Pavillion of Harmony; New Asia Clock Tower, Water Tower, and Amphitheater; busts and statues of Ch'ien Mu and Tang Chun-yi.{{cite|url= https://www.na.cuhk.edu.hk/college-life/campus-environment/|chapter= Campus Environment|title= New Asia Online History Archives| date=2025}}

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.{{cite web |url=http://www.na.cuhk.edu.hk/en-us/aboutnewasia/history.aspx |title=About New Asia: History |publisher=Chinese University of Hong Kong |accessdate=13 January 2014}} During its early years, it received substantial support from the American Yale-China Association, and hosted Yale-in-China "Bachelors," recent Yale graduates who taught English and other subjects.{{sfnb|Chou|2011}}

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.
