The Beautiful Campus of Taida (台大)

The main administrative building.

National Taiwan University, popularly known as Taida (台大), is one of the most beautiful college campuses in Taipei. It was founded in 1928 by the Japanese, and is Taiwan's most prestigious school. On the weekend, it transforms into a park for families and tourists to take a stroll, enjoy a bike ride, or sit down and relax.

I want to share some of my best photos from the first time I visited the Taida campus on a great, sunny day.

The main entrance.

One of the gardening plots right on campus. 

Taida has lovely plant arrangements.

The main road is surrounded by palm trees.

Look, it's Pennylane! 

Taida's buildings are old, but still regal.

The language center.

I love the crawlers that have taken over
most of the buildings.

At the small park located within Taida.
I caught the eye of this little man. 

The school has a student-run farm.

An old waterwheel.

You can see Taipei 101 clearly from Taida as it's
only a district away.

The agricultural building is clearly quite old.

People strolling through the farm.

In addition to a fully-functioning farm,
Taida students also grow plants in greenhouses.

Ducks relaxing in the pond.

There are several places to eat near the student center on campus.

Either before or after visiting Taida, you can enjoy some shaved ice and other treats at Tai Yi Milk King which is located across the street from the main entrance of the campus. Maybe you should go there first then walk off all the sugar at Taida!
