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.

People whose memories of Taiwan go back around 30 years will recall the old Taipei Train Station, which dated from the Japanese colonial period (1895-1945) The Hsinchu Train Station also dates from the colonial Japanese era. It has a strong resemblance to the Taipei Train Station, which was demolished many years ago. Although the Hsinchu Train Station has (so far) been spared, it is hardly state of the art and travelers need to keep their wits about them when they are using it. This is not the station for the HSR.
