After the freight from the freshwater station, to the right bus station, switch to the Red 26 and 836 buses, about five or six stops, to the Red Moore City station, walk ahead along the sloping truth street next to Red Moore to the University of Truth. In the vicinity, you can also visit the Art Museum of Wicked Deng (formerly the Church Hall), the home of Tōta Hongji, and the official residence of the Freshwater Customs Department (Little White House). If it is good to walk from the express station, the walk should be less than twenty minutes.
Within the green campus, there are historical monuments such as Oxford College, Red Building (Pastor Building, Girl Building), Dr. Ma'an's home, and many advertisements and film scenes.

When visiting Redwood City, you unintentionally noticed that there were some buildings in different shapes next door, but you couldn't find an indicator of what the Attractions were. Feeling this is uncomfortable for foreign tourists, the management of the two landscapes should coordinate and increase the tourist-friendly facilities.
Entering the scope of the school, first see the two towers of the chapel, red brick walls, architectural style fuses the Central and Western culture, standing in front of the green grassland, especially attracting the eye. The garden has several oval-shaped flowers, which are crossed by walking trails. The water pool next door is calm as a mirror, and the two towers are reflected in the water pool, relying on the green-looking old trees, plus the red-blue clothes as a prints, forming a beautiful oil painting, as if it were a film scene.
On the other side of the garden is the Oxford College. The English name is Oxford College, but the Chinese name is College of Science. Red wall green wave, plus the decoration of the roof, if no name is engraved, considered a temple. The park is quiet and comfortable, the view is beautiful, and it is envious of the students who studied here before.
We visited the University of Truth for the first time and also unintentionally discovered Attractions. After looking at the online information, it was possible to apply for a visit to the chapel, and overlook the Redwood City and fresh water in the height, the view is great, hopefully there is a chance to come again.

A pleasant leafy area for a stroll. It was interesting to see Oxford College and read the history of the area. We were fortunate to catch a pipe organ rehearsal in the church.

A short detour from the walk from Tamsui MRT to Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf will lead you to Aletheia University. Its origins date back to 1888 when Oxford College was founded on the site by Revd. George Leslie Mackay, a Canadian Presbyterian missionary who had arrived in Tamsui in 1872. The original building still stands, located amidst a picturesque garden. The imposing chapel of Aletheia University stands opposite this modest structure, providing a stark contrast between old and new. A statue of Mackay landing on Tamsui is nearby next to the river.

Well, the things that you can do here is taking photos as the architecture is western style. Besides that, there is also a small museum about the history of that place and its free. However, think twice if you are coming here in summer or begining of autumn because you have to climb a short slope to reach there and it might be exhausting to walk there in the middle of hot weather

During the weekend this is a quiet and peaceful place not far from the British Consulate and Fort San Domingo. If you are around take the chance to walk around the university area to watch the nice architecture and to take some photos.

Aletheia University is an old private university in Tamsui. It is no problem for tourists to enter and walk around. The campus is like a park, and their buildings are somewhat European. As I visited, the semester had been over and no student was in campus. If you are tired of walking in Tamsui, it is a good place to take a rest.

We had heard much of the Canadian Mackay Family who came as missionaries to this part of Taiwan and helped to build what was originally called Oxford College Taiwan. Walking around campus, now a sports/Christian college is special. See the museum with lots of photos and authentic historical pieces. Good luck and enjoy!
