Hsinchu City East Gate, City gate in East District, Hsinchu, Taiwan.

The East Gate features a two-story tower structure with granite stone foundations and arched doorways on both its eastern and western sides.

Built in 1826 during the Qing Dynasty, this gate remained as the only preserved entrance when the city walls were demolished in 1902.

The characters 'Yingxi' inscribed above the main entrance reflect the Chinese tradition of naming gates according to their cardinal direction and function.

Located three minutes from Hsinchu Railway Station, the gate connects to multiple bus stops and features nearby YouBike rental stations.

The 1996 renovation transformed the surroundings into 'Heart of Hsinchu' with modern elements including light installations and a glass bridge.
