Hsinchu City Council

The Hsinchu City Council is the main legislative body managing municipal affairs and local governance. The building houses the chamber where elected representatives gather to handle city matters and pass local ordinances.

The council was established in 1982 when Taiwan introduced its first wave of local self-governance. This marked an important shift toward democratic decentralization of city administration in the region.

The council chamber reflects how the city makes decisions that affect daily life for residents. Visitors can observe elected representatives discussing matters that shape neighborhoods and public services.
