## About Tunghai University

Tunghai University is known as “the most beautiful university in Taiwan.” Phoenix trees line Yuenong Road (约农路), and banyan trees with umbrella-like canopies shade Wenli Avenue (文理大道). The buildings along these paths are designed in a classical style, full of old-world charm. On campus, Luce Chapel, designed by the university's most celebrated architect, I. M. Pei, is the school's spiritual symbol.
