The garden-like Tamsui campus has been a no-boundary campus from the beginning. It is open to the public and visitors to walk in and out freely, therefore people in the community enjoys taking advantage of the beautiful environment of the university for recreation or sports. The places with the most architectural features and cultural and historical significance are as follows:
1. The Chinese Palace-Styled Classrooms & Chueh-Sheng Garden: This building is in sight after walking through the “slope of overcoming difficulties,” which is a path one must pass by to enter the Tamsui campus. The Chinese Palace-Styled Classrooms was built in 1954 in a classical palace-styled building with green tiles and red walls. With imitation of the Song Dynasty, the "Chueh-Sheng Garden" was designed by the courtyard as a place where people often rest.
2. Maritime Museum (Ship-Shaped Architecture): The Maritime Museum was built in 1978 and has a history of more than 40 years, and the space has been transformed into a museum for 30 years. It is the first campus museum in Taiwan that sustainably promotes maritime education to the public and provides the public free tour and guided tour. The appearance of the ship-shaped building of the museum reflects the local hydrological characteristics of the university and its location and represents the image of the university carrying knowledge, which is very distinctive and rich in cultural significance.
3. The University Commons: a place where many community gatherings and large-scale activities are held, and it is also a scenic spot for visitors to enter. In the center of the square, there is a four-piece "bamboo scroll," which symbolizes an ancient booklet. When viewed from above, it looks like a rotating shaft in a motor, moving endlessly.
4. Monument to the Origin of Folk Songs: The Lee Shuan Che Monument located on the Shepherd’s Meadow commemorates the pioneer of folk songs, Lee Shuan Che called "Sing Your Songs" and advocated for young people to pass on folk songs and make our university the birthplace of Taiwanese folk songs, which builds the significance for future generations to "create their songs."
