One of the four oldest universities in Taiwan, National Taiwan Normal
University (NTNU), located in the Da'an District of Taipei City, was
founded in 1922 and initially dedicated to teacher education. It has
since grown to offer study and research in a wide variety of fields,
notably education and training, library and information management,

languages. NTNU's Mandarin Training Center is internationally

Night Market, next to NTNU is open nightly and has vendors selling
