National Tsing Hua University Introduction
National Tsing Hua University is located at the northern foothills of Shibajianshan in Hsinchu City, covering an area of over 80 hectares. The campus is rich with greenery and features beautiful landscapes such as Chenggong Lake, Kunming Lake, Meiyuan, and Meigu, making it a significant academic institution with cultural atmosphere and tourism value. Chenggong Lake, an artificial lake, has a vast surface area with a small bridge leading to a pavilion in the center. Weeping willows line the banks, and occasionally, one or two egrets come to visit, adding life to the beautiful scene. Kunming Lake is small and exquisite, with lotus leaves covering the surface, while across the lake is a charming trellis of bougainvillea flowers. Meiyuan, established in memory of President Mei Yiqi, is home to over 400 sea trees, and each spring, the garden is filled with dazzling white plum blossoms, making it one of the famous sights of Tsing Hua University. The new campus area, Meigu, is the site of the College of Humanities, with Qingsu Lake nestled within. The towering Moso bamboo by the lakeside and the soaring egrets above the lake create a harmonious landscape resembling a traditional Chinese landscape painting. On November 1, 2016, it merged with National Hsinchu University of Education, retaining the name "National Tsing Hua University," while the original National Hsinchu University is now referred to as the "Nanda Campus."
