10 Sights & Landmarks in Hsinchu That You Shouldn't Miss

June 17, 2021 Merry Kessler

The city of "New Bamboo," Hsinchu sways like a sturdy reed under the cooling breeze that rolls from the Taiwan Strait. Buzzing with the activity of numerous science and technology universities, Hsinchu is forward-thinking, attracting high-tech companies from around the world—a charming juxtaposition of modernity and antiquity for the oldest city in northern Taiwan. Hsinchu's historic moat flows through central parks and green spaces, and the scholarly carvings on the Guan Di Temple contribute to the city's intellectual sensibility. For a glimpse into traditional Taiwanese technologies, visit the Craft Glass Museum to learn about Hsinchu's signature product.

The Residence of Principal Hsin Chih-Ping

Reviewed By DavidASU - Union City, United States

Visiting Principle Hsin’s residence which reminds some of my Good old Senior High School era. The residence is a Japanese style house which is well maintained with a lot of Principle Hsin’s memories. He is indeed, a great educator who has led by examples. Back then, the college entrance exam was the most important task for any Senior a high School students. However, we still need to learn music, painting, swimming, and mountain running. My music was flunked and the music teacher was so talented to name many different eggs (score 0) for my classmates. The other teacher i still remembered is the “Old Flat” history teacher who was a philosopher. There were several “ great teachers” back then to guide my life.

National Tsing Hua University

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Tsing Hua University was established in Beijing then transferred to Taiwan in 1949 with the retreating Nationalists. The college is set in a beautiful campus just outside of Hsinchu City. The lake is especially attractive, it is well supplied with large koi, which have marvelously varied colors. The gazebo on the tranquil lake which is very peaceful. It's easy to spend an hour of so just wandering around. By the way, the lake is deep and treacherous, swimming and fishing are forbidden. The campus has varied wildlife, including squirrels. Please do not feed the animals. Tsing Hua is best known for its engineering faculty, but it covers a wide range of academic disciplines.

Hsinchu Cheng Huang Temple

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

This is a fascinating temple. The entrance is not at all obvious but once you enter it is a cacophony of sounds and a medley of smells and colors. Cheng Huang Temple is one of the oldest temples on the island and is enduringly popular. The temple does not have magnificent statues, but it seems to gain its popularity by answering the prayers of the faithful. By the way, the temple's fish ball soup and vermicelli noodles are famous and many visitors visit mainly for the food.
