Hsinchu County, Administrative division in northwestern Taiwan

Hsinchu County spans 1,427 square kilometers of varied terrain, including mountains and plains, bordered by Taoyuan City and Miaoli County.

The region transformed from indigenous Taokas, Saisiyat, and Atayal territories to Han Chinese settlement in 1711, later becoming Shinchiku during Japanese administration.

The county maintains the largest Hakka community in Taiwan, preserving traditional dialects, religious practices, and customs shaped by generations of agricultural life.

The Hsinchu Science Park, established in 1980, houses numerous technology companies and research facilities, making the county a center for semiconductor manufacturing.

The education system includes multiple science and technology universities, supporting the development of Taiwan's primary technological research and production hub.
