[Aletheia University | Bookishness and Sea Breeze Among Red Brick Western-Style Buildings]

Located on the hills of Tamsui, Aletheia University is one of Tamsui's most culturally rich landmarks. Founded by Dr. Mackay, this university blends Western-style red brick architecture with Taiwan's natural scenery. From every angle, it exudes a rich atmosphere of history and scholarship. When the sun shines on the red brick exterior, against the backdrop of the blue sky and the distant Tamsui River, the scene resembles an elegant postcard.

Wandering around the campus, the most striking feature is the Oxford Hall. It is not only a designated historical monument in New Taipei City, but also a landmark that bears witness to the development of education in Tamsui. Its thick red brick walls, symmetrical arched windows, and bell tower, standing quietly through the ages, speak of Mackay's spirit in promoting education, preaching, and medicine a century ago. At dusk, the golden glow of the setting sun casts a soft, warm glow over the buildings, shrouding the entire campus in a breathtaking beauty.
