Hsinchu City, Technology center in northern Taiwan
Located near the Taiwan Strait, Hsinchu covers 104 square kilometers with three main districts and a 17-kilometer coastline for outdoor activities.
The settlement began in 1711 when Han Chinese established a town, later developing into a prefecture during Japanese rule from 1895 to 1945.
The Chenghuang Temple, constructed in 1747, remains central to local traditions, while night markets display regional food specialties like rice noodles.
The Hsinchu Science Park houses major semiconductor companies, connecting to Taipei through high-speed rail services and an extensive bus network.
Strong northeastern winds sweep through the city from autumn to winter, making Hsinchu the primary location for Taiwan's wind energy research.
