Search “Taiwan’s most beautiful library” on Instagram, and you’ll discover many recommendations for the Dah Hsian Library at National Chengchi University Library in Wenshan District. The library is a popular spot for taking photos and checking in on Facebook.
From the lakeside library, groups of lively mallards are often seen happily paddling in the water. As you enter the library, the high-ceilinged atrium conveys the bright spaciousness of the entire building. You can admire the magnificent, beautiful seven stories of bookshelves from the ground floor or go up to the top floor and look down.
The building was constructed using a “full precast” construction method: assembling the pre-made concrete structure like a box of building blocks. This hi-tech, advanced construction method was entirely carried out by the Taiwanese company Ruentex Engineering & Construction.
The library was named after Dah Hsian Seetoo, a well-known Taiwanese business management scholar and the former teacher of the library’s donor, business tycoon Samuel Yin. Entry is not limited to Chengchi University alumni, so everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the scholarly atmosphere of the library.
But before you come, be sure to visit the library website and read the guidelines for information on buses, parking, and library rules.
