History
It used to be a two-year normal college, but it was elevated to a four-year comprehensive college or university in 2004 with the permission of the Ministry of Education.
Hengshui University possesses many sporting facilities. These include a running track, a tennis court, ping-pong tables, basketball courts and badminton.
Hengshui Normal College was known as an example of mid-1980s medium density architecture. However, developments since mid-2003, including the construction of modern library facilities have had a significant impact on the layout and aesthetic impact of the original dormitory blocks. The entrance of the university has a particularly handsome colonnade and fountain.
