The Map

For scholars traveling from abroad to National Taiwan University (NTU), transportation to and within Taipei is convenient, safe, and well signposted in English, making arrival relatively stress-free even for first-time visitors.

Most international travelers arrive at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), which is approximately 40–50 kilometers from central Taipei.

The most efficient way to reach the city is the Taoyuan Airport MRT, which departs directly from both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The express train takes about 35–40 minutes to Taipei Main Station, while the commuter train takes slightly longer; both are reliable and clearly marked in English.

From Taipei Main Station, scholars can easily transfer to the Taipei Metro (MRT) system to reach their accommodation or the NTU campus.

*NTU is located near Gongguan Station (公館站) on the Green Line (Songshan–Xindian Line); Exit 3 leads directly toward the main campus and Roosevelt Road.

Taxis are also readily available at the airport and throughout Taipei; while more expensive than public transport, they are still reasonably priced by international standards and can be convenient for those with heavy luggage.

Most taxi drivers understand basic destinations such as “National Taiwan University” or “Gongguan,” though having the destination written in Chinese can be helpful. Once in Taipei, the MRT and bus systems are the most practical ways to commute.

Scholars are advised to purchase an EasyCard, a rechargeable smart card usable on MRT trains, city buses, some taxis, and even in convenience stores; it can be purchased and topped up at MRT stations and major convenience stores.

Buses provide extensive coverage around NTU and are well integrated with the MRT, though routes can be more complex for newcomers.

Walking is also highly feasible, as the NTU campus is large, green, and pedestrian-friendly, with clear signage in both Chinese and English.

For short distances, YouBike, Taipei’s public bicycle-sharing system, is another popular option; EasyCard registration allows easy access to bikes near MRT stations and around campus.
