| About a hundred large and attractive palm trees of the species Roystonea regia can be seen on either side of the Royal Palm Blvd., the main artery and a prominent landmark of NTU’s main campus. Pointing eastward toward Muzhi (“thumb”) Mountain, the thoroughfare ends at the lawn in front of the NTU Main Library, where the views at dawn and dusk are said to be spectacular. As to the curved portion of the boulevard next to the Main Gate on its western end, an intriguing account is that it helps to “accumulate and retain talent” according to the dictates of feng shui. |
