彰師輔諮，地靈人傑

彰化師大的地理位置殊勝，在八卦山下、大肚溪旁，校園有山有水，後有八卦山、前有白沙湖，地名白沙山莊，其前身可追溯至1745年「明朝」之白沙書院，文風相傳至今已歷經260餘載。地處彰化縣與台中市交界，緊鄰台中市與彰化市都會區，以及台灣最繁忙的中部交通樞紐中心(大肚溪流域)，台灣高速鐵路(台中烏日站)，台灣鐵路局山線鐵路、海線鐵路(於彰化站)交會，國道一號高速公路、國道三號與省道台七十四線(中彰快速道路)、台一線、台十四線與等主要交通幹線交會之處，亦鄰近台中清泉崗國際機場與台中港，陸海空交通四通八達，得天獨厚、非常便利。既鄰近文化古都鹿港，更位居八卦山大佛腳下，大佛的慈悲與感應守護著彰化師大所有的師生，是彰化師大的守護神。本校的生活環境正如陶淵明所言：「結廬在人境，而無車馬喧」，有山林之勝，亦得城市之便，恍如現代生活中的桃花源，猶如都會城市中之第一靜巷，正是生活與學習的好地方。彰師大輔諮系的系館座落本校大門口，正是靜巷之中第一家。

Reason 20: Spectacular Place, The “First House” of “The Alley”
Located at the foot of ChangHua Bagua Mountain, by the side of Dadu River, NCUE has a pretty outstanding geographical location. There are many beautiful views around NCUE. For instance, right inside of the campus, we have Baisha Lake. Moreover, behind the campus is exactly ChangHua Bagua Mountain. The campus is also called “Baisha Mountain Villa”. This gorgeous and historical name can be traced back to 1745, the ming dynasty. In that time, here is “Baisha academy”, which is a academy of classical learning providing private education in the neighborhood. Due to this history, the bookish charm has kept our students stay under the positive influence for already 260 years, and it would last continuously. We are at the city junction of Taichung City and Changhua County, close to Taichung City, metropolitan area of Changhua City. The busiest transportation hub of medium Taiwan (river basin of Dadu River) is also close here, including Taiwan High Speed Rail (Taichung Station), the intersection of mountain line railway and coast line railway (Changhua Station), National Highway No. 1 (as known as Sun Yat-sen Freeway), National Highway No. 3, Provincial Highway No. 74 (Chung Chang expressway), Provincial Highway No. 1, Provincial Highway No. 14 and other intersection of main artery. You can easily go to TAICHUNG International Airport and Taichung Port if you set off from NCUE. Thanks to the advantages brought by these transportation ways, we’ve got a convenient transportation. In addition to the above modern public facilities, we have traditional and quaint places around us. An antique and picturesque township, Lukang, are a near and nation-famous tourist attraction to go. The ChangHua Bagua Mountain behind our campus are a patron saint for NCUE, giving off his benevolence to protect and bless the students in NCUE. The entire atmosphere NCUE giving to the students is similar with a paragraph of the poem I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud written by William Wordsworth,
“Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:”.
This location has the advantages in both naturally outdoor recreation and convenience as well as modern life in city. NCUE can be compared to a rare quiet alley separated from noisy cities, or a “Xanadu” separated from this rush life. In that case, the location is truly a wonderful place to study and live a simple but content life in. Our department building is located by the sides of the school gate. That is to say, we are exactly the “first house” of “the alley”. Spectacular Place, The “First House” of “The Alley”GC, NCUE, your best choice.
