Tung Hai University
東海大學
Tung Hai University (東海大學) is one of the popular universities in Taichung. It doesn't just attract the locals and students to visit the university but also tourists and other Taiwanese media too. The university is really big and we got lost inside during our trip! So embarrassing, hahas. Nevertheless, we did managed to find our way back to the main gate.
The university housed a number of cafes, student hostels, classrooms, lecture halls, auditoriums and what you normally can find in a typical university. Like our local universities, they also have a nice library too. The university became famous due to many Taiwanese idol shows took the setting here and also they are featured on food shows "食尚玩家" and many other local news coverage.
As featured on "愛似百匯" and "食尚玩家"
The most visited in the campus by media and tourist is the Church, The Luce Chapel (路思義教堂). The Church is easily located at the heart of the university, by following the road signs and boards, it's hard to miss this Church.

Other than taking photos with the nice and beautiful church, we also visited the daily products shop in the university. The shop (東海乳品小棧) is painted in white with black patches like those you would see on a cow. Again, with much research, you will be able to find the shop easily. In the store, they sells fresh milk, ice creams and frozen snacks such like gyoza etc;. The ice cream is one of the bestseller products in the shop, it was also featured on "食尚玩家" too.

The next stop here is to visit their daily farm. The university has a farm for cows and deers. Amazing, right? I only took photos of the cow farm though, so sorry eh. Hahas. It's a tiring walk but it's worth to stop by and take some nice photos since we are already there.
Big and strong cows! Moo!!
Tung Hai University is also a beautiful university with many scenic walkways and parks. I believed it would be pretty nice when one wanted peace while enjoying a wonderful day at a nice cafe. Partly because of these amenities which were opened to public, the university is becoming more and more popular with tourists, lovers and the locals. During my visit, I saw old aunties and uncles enjoying their breakfast at one of the cafes too.

Well, during my stay, I visited the Dante cafe. We had coffee and salad while we rested our feet. The service provided was nice and the foods were served quite fast too. I love the coffee especially when the weather was really cold that morning. The coffee tasted not too sweet or too bitter and the salad was tasty too. We spent around S$10 there. Raven and I stayed a while at the university before we left. Overall, I think it's one of the nicest universities in Taiwan and I would definitely recommend a half-day tour or a morning tour to the university if you are visiting Taichung some day.
Warm coffee to brighten our morning!
Tasty salad to add on to the morning's meal!
I have finally come to the end of this travel post. I hope that you guys have enjoyed reading it and that you have gained some nice insights and ideas for your upcoming trip to Taichung too. Nonetheless, thanks for reading and dropping by! :)
