Oxford University, Taiwan's first Western-style educational institution

Oxford University of Tamsui
was the first school to introduce Western education in Taiwan,
and is an educational institution of great significance in the history of Taiwanese education.

It was founded in 1872 by Canadian missionary Mackay,
and at the time, it was not just an educational facility,
but also played an important role in spreading Western learning and Christian thought.
It is currently used as a museum exhibiting Christian and educational artifacts,
and is preserved as a historical site where you can catch a glimpse of Taiwan's modern education.

In particular, the old-fashioned red brick building and arched windows boast impressive architectural beauty,

where you can experience both educational value and architectural beauty.
