National Central University Introduction
National Central University is located in the Chungli area of Taiwan, covering approximately 62 hectares. With its beautiful campus scenery and convenient location, it has become a filming location for many television idol dramas. The popularity of these shows has transformed National Central University into a favorite dating spot for young people. Here, you can stroll along the Pine Forest Path flanked by towering pines and blooming flowers, breathe in the fragrant scent of osmanthus carried by the wind, and easily take in the vast green lawn, the shimmering reflections on the university's lake, and the artworks by renowned local sculptor Ju Ming. Entering the campus through the main entrance on Central University Road, the first sight that greets you is an oval garden designed along the sloping terrain, with the words "National Central University" woven in yellow banyan trees at its center, creating a stunning visual impact. Continuing through the circle, you can walk along the stone-paved "Pine Forest Path," which features observation platforms, recreational seating, and lighting facilities. Along the path, you can admire Ju Ming's famous bronze sculpture "Tai Chi Archway" on the open grass, and in the area known as "Central Park," you might notice a massive banyan tree, resembling the logo of Cathay Life, earning it the nickname "Cathay Tree." These spots are truly worthy of capturing memorable photos. At the end of the path, there is an outdoor café where visitors can often be seen relaxing with coffee and enjoying the sunshine on weekends, accompanied by the joyful laughter of kites and frisbees in the air, creating a carefree atmosphere. The stunning campus of National Central University has attracted the attention of several idol dramas, such as the lake where the female and male leads fell into the water in "The Promise of 18," the "Cathay Tree" where Wu Chen Jun made wishes in "Peach Girl," the chair next to the Tai Chi lawn where Angela Zhang sat in "Love at Seventeen," and the Pine Forest Avenue where characters ride bicycles in "The Poor Rich Boy." Recently, "Cheng Dong University" in "My Free Era" is actually National Central University, and the romantic Pine Forest Path serves as the setting for the Christmas dance at "Cheng Dong University." Each Christmas, the university decorates the area with colorful lights to enhance the festive atmosphere. In addition to its cultural and artistic vibe, the campus features two elegant fountains, with the lakeside greenery swaying gently in the breeze, adding a poetic touch. Groups of students or couples walk around the campus, contributing to the romantic ambiance. If you're not in a hurry, you can walk hand in hand on the large lawn at the campus entrance, spending a leisurely afternoon together, or lie back and let the warm sun kiss your skin, writing love stories page by page.
