Study Abroad Programs in NCCU are an exclusive one to three-week academic events organized by CNCCU.

      Taipei is the repository of true Chinese culture. The National Palace Museum (NPM) not only holds one of the world’s largest collections of Chinese artistic treasures but also a chronicle of 5000 years of Chinese history and heritage. Taipei has produced numerous pop icons in the Chinese entertainment industry. In recent years, local pop culture, from singer Jay Chou’s concerts to contemporary Taiwanese musicals have taken China by storm, unreservedly conquering Beijing audience.

      However, Chinese culture isn’t Taipei’s only feature. The city has a rich and diversified cultural heritage. With its location at the crossroads of East Asia, Taipei has, throughout its course, been subject to unexpected visits and colonization by major powers at one time or another in history. The Dutch, Spanish, and Japanese, and the recent administrations have all played a role in Taipei's development. You will be able to get a taste of indigenous, Taiwanese, and Chinese cultures and even find traces left by the Dutch and the Japanese while sightseeing in Taipei.

      The city’s diverse cultural environment and its liberal atmosphere bring forth unexpected forms of creativity, such as pearl milk tea, a cold beverage that comes in a myriad of flavors with a scoop of chewy ” tapioca pearls,” or bustling night markets, places that offer traditional snacks, retail shops, and an authentic experience of crowded local street life or Eslite book store (Dunnan branch), the world’s only large scale bookstore that opens around the clock, 24-7, with a grand space and wide selection of readings to boost your intellectual power. Taipei also has thousands of 24-hour convenience stores and Kareokes. You will see how locals commonly use laptops in fast-food chains and coffee shops , using high broadband with a penetration rate, that is the second highest of any city in the world.

      At Study Abroad Programs, the aura of freedom and diversity of this vibrant city all become part of the classroom experience. We at Study Abroad Programs, look forward to making your stay in Taipei the most enjoyable and productive Welcome to Taipei! Welcome to CNCCU!
