Transporation from CKS International Airport:

There is no rail connecting to CKS International Airport, therefore the transportation to and leaving CKS Airport depends exclusively on buses and cars.　 There are two terminals in CKS Airport. 　You can purchase bus tickets to major cities of Taiwan in the arrival hall of each terminal.　 Also, the taxi stand is located right outside the arrival hall; most taxi drivers at CKS Airport speak some English or Japanese.　 The transportation from CKS Airport to Taipei is very convenient, basically a bus to Taipei every 10 minutes.　 Please consult airport attendants for more details on transportation as well as tourist information about Taipei or other cities/areas of Taiwan.

How to get to National Tsing Hua University on your own?
If you plan to come to Tsing Hua on your own, there are several ways to get to National Tsing Hua University from the CKS International Airport (Taipei):
　

Bus: Take the United Highway Bus. Purchase a ticket at the ticket counter in the arrival hall.　 A one-way trip to the city of Hsinchu costs NT$150. 　You will have to transfer at Chungli Freeway Service Center to a different bus to Hsinchu.  Mention "Hsinchu" to the staff at the transfer station and the staff will notify you when the bus bound for Hsinchu arrives. On the second bus, tell the driver you will get off at National Tsing Hua University. The bus will stop one block away from the university.
