中原 Chung Yuan

It is quite obvious that NCU is located on a hill quite a distance from the city. So if students want to have some fun after school, they usually have to travel out into the city, to the area surrounding another big university--Chung Yuan.

As a more densely populated district, Chung Yuan naturally develops more commerce. The night market there is quite famous as it offers a wide range of diverse and tasty delicacies. And it does not stop at cheap foods. In fact, Chung Yuan has quite a few fancy exotic restaurants there. Although some prices are a little bit high for student income, they are still within an acceptable range, so students in the whole city flock to that area. As more people eat there, shops of various kinds also gather in that area.

Chung Yuan is probably the best place if you are looking for the latest styles. Trendy and edgy hair salons also help enhance your look. So, while the simple life at NCU is good for studying, the vibrant life in the Chung Yuan area will provide some balance for your life.
