Chinese students are showing more interest in universities in the United States and Britain for campus tours, as five out of the 10 most popular universities are from the two countries.

Students go on a campus tour, during which visit elite schools or universities, stay on campus or with host families, and go to well-known scenic spots for sightseeing.

Based on three factors – the number of times the name of the university appears in people's travel notes, how high the tourist attractions are ranked and the QS World University Ranking released by educational and careers advice company Quacquarelli Symonds - Stanford University tops the list, followed by the University of Hong Kong and the University of Tokyo.

Here is a look at the top 10 overseas universities that Chinese students like for campus tour.
