This field is filled with a rich variety of plants.Some leaves have shapes unfamiliar to us,and some display two colors at once.Each tree trunk traces its own distinct lines and patterns.Amid the sea of green, flowers of other colors sometimes bloom—a sudden burst of color that never fails to surprise me.

The leaves are needle-shaped, slender, and grow in clusters, looking like green fireworks. When I touched them, they weren’t as sharp as I had imagined; instead, they felt soft yet slightly rough.

People often say, “Green is good for the eyes.”Science also shows that green can calm the mind and help people relax.

Since I came to study in New Taipei, it has been hard to see wide stretches of greenery.Fortunately, there is a beautiful garden at my school, and I have grown to like it more and more.

From above, I can see a monument in the center, surrounded by grass, walkways, and flower beds.The outermost layer of trees forms a square, like gentle green ripples spreading across a quiet lake, soft and rhythmic.

If you have some time today, would you like to go see this garden with me?

You must be curious — where exactly is this garden located on campus? And which university is it in? Actually, it’s inside Chihlee University of Technology. Buildings surround it from the front, back, and left sides, making it look a bit like a traditional courtyard house.

Each of the three surrounding buildings serves a different purpose. The garden enclosed by them has instead become a quiet little haven. Now, let me take you on a tour of these three buildings.

There is a health center on the first floor, and next to it is a small path that leads to the garden. As you go upstairs, you’ll find the classrooms. When you open the classroom windows, you can see the garden outside—especially from the fifth floor, where the view of the entire garden is the clearest.

There is a student counseling center on the fifth floor. What’s special about it is that the corridor railings are made of PC panels, so when the afternoon sunlight shines in, it looks really beautiful. In addition, starting from the third floor, the garden is hardly visible because it’s blocked by banyan trees.

# data[].attributes.body
I can say for sure that every student will enter this building at least once during their four years here. The building also has passageways that connect it to the other two buildings. However, it’s almost impossible to see the garden from here—unless you’re one of the staff members working in the offices.

This garden is more than just part of my daily view. It became the inspiration for my work. As I observed and walked closer, I saw many rhythms and shapes.The monument in the center shows a dialogue between people and nature.The grass, paths, and trees create a soft rhythm of green.This exhibition reinterprets that quiet beauty and invites you to feel its calm and movement.

There are all kinds of sounds flowing across the grassland. I usually pass by in a hurry, never stopping to listen.But when I finally quieted myself to listen, those sounds slowly calmed my heart. I wonder—what kind of feelings arise in you when you hear them?

It is the centerpiece of this garden, with its black color designed to make it stand out. I feel that the three steps at the bottom represent important moments from the past, the motto in the middle connects the past and the future, and the globe-shaped sculpture at the top symbolizes significant goals for the future.

I always thought the lawn was just clean and neatly trimmed grass, until I noticed near the monument that some blades were two different shades and curled quietly into shapes like tiny tornadoes—it was so fascinating. In addition, fallen leaves often drift to the edges of the lawn and can be seen everywhere.

Stepping on the grass, it feels as if the soles of my feet are being gently massaged.

This garden has dedicated paths for pedestrians, making it both convenient and thoughtful. Especially on rainy days, walking on the grass can easily dirty light-colored shoes, but with the paths, you don’t have to worry and can enjoy your walk more comfortably.

At the outer edge, large trees are planted, and as you walk in from the school gate, the banyan tree is the first to catch your eye. Beneath it, wooden benches are placed, and I often see students sitting there to rest, chat, or wait for their friends.

Stepping on the gravel, I could feel the uneven texture of the ground.

It’s hidden in an inconspicuous corner, and from the back, I might have thought it was just an ordinary stone. But when you walk around to the front, it turns out to be an owl. If you ever visit Chihlee University of Technology, you should try to find it!

This leaf resembles a delicate fan—add a few feathers, and it might softly stir the wind.

From a distance, I thought the splash of yellow was some kind of flower. But as I got closer, I realized the leaves themselves carried two colors — bright yellow and vivid green. It felt as if yellow paint had been splashed across a green canvas, with each leaf showing its own unique pattern.

It also has two colors: yellow-green and dark green. However, its color pattern is more orderly than that of the croton, which displays its colors freely and playfully in dotted patterns. The schefflera, on the other hand, seems to have an unspoken agreement—if the center of a leaf is dark green, the edges are yellow-green, and vice versa.

Its bark feels smooth but peels off at the same time, revealing a mottled texture. The trunk is lighter in color than most trees, so in the video, the ants crawling on it are clearly visible as they busily work on building their home.

The bark feels rough from top to bottom, and if your fingers are sensitive, it’s best not to touch it, or it will hurt. Looking at this section of the trunk, I can almost see gingerbread people happily dancing on it. Can you imagine any other interesting shapes?

The afternoon before, the flowers were still a deep pink. But when I went to see them again this morning, they had turned white, which really puzzled me. After looking it up online, I found out that their blooming period is very short—only one day. Though brief, it’s truly beautiful: the flowers start out white or pale pink at dawn, turn pink by noon, and become deep red by evening as they wither.

If the cotton rose gives me a calm and gentle feeling, then the lantana feels passionate and full of energy. Its petals blend bright red and orange, and the tiny flowers form a half-spherical cluster that looks like a small, radiant bouquet— as if offering a blessing for someone to always stay lively and full of life.
