The Academy of Armored Forces Engineering of PLA (装甲兵工程学院) was founded in 1961 to serve as the cradle of PLA’s Armor and Mechanized forces. Its 6700 Chinese acres campus is located at the bank of Lugouqiao, a.k.a Marco Polo Bridge in Beijing.
The academy offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees for command and engineering officers from both home and aboard. It is also staffed for doctrinal developments and other tactical research projects.
For a more detailed write up about the college, here is an article from People's daily (Here) and the college's own website (Here) (Here) CCTV also did a documentary on the academy back in June 17, 2008 (Here)

The academy has very single types of AFV in service with the PLA, including the state-of-the-art Type99.
There are a total of seven proven grounds inside the academy to simulate most of the terrain PLA armor force would encounter.
