Its campus, located near sceintific park at Hsinchu city, is one hour bus ride from Taipei (the Taipei-bound buses are right outside the NTHU main gate, frequent (every 10-15 min) and almost around the clock) and 40 min ride from the international airport ; besides, there is the hot/cold spring near by, so you can enjoy the pleasant climate to have a quality stay in one of the most beautiful campuses with mountain and lakes in Taiwan for a summer.

National Tsing Hua University has a long and proud history. First established as the Tsing Hua Academy at Tsing Hua Garden, Beijing in 1911, the first modern university in modern Chinese history, the Academy was renamed as National Tsing Hua University in 1928 as its curricula expanded to that of a full-fledged university. After WWII, in 1956, National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) was reinstalled on its current campus in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Since its reinstallation, NTHU has developed from an institute focusing on Nuclear Science and Technology to that of a comprehensive research university offering degrees programs ranging from baccalaureate to doctorate in science, engineering, life science, humanities and social sciences, as well as management. NTHU has been consistently ranked as one of the premier universities in Taiwan and is widely recognized as the best incubator for future leaders in industries as well as academics.
