An offbeat trip into Hsinchu in Taiwan.
Hsinchu Science based industrial city is very much like any new IT technopark , except that Hsinchu is endowed with the natural beauty of a deadly combination of mountains, rivers and the sea.
Every normal tourist to Hsinchu knows about its wide variety of birds, the prospects of mountaineering and trekking and also about the famous universities of Hsinchu. Here is a report of an offbeat visit to a "Hakka" village on the outskirts of Hsinchu.
But before we begin, one must clear off any apprehensions about accomodation in Hsinchu. I was put up at the very decent Berkeley Business Hotel whose lobby and suite can be seen in the photographs. The best thing of course was the 24 hour free Internet access in the comfort of your room!
As you set out from the Berkeley hotel on the busy Kuang Fu road, this is what you will see:
"Hakka village" is famous for homemade "Hakka noodles", which are made of rice and dried in the salty breeze of the sea.
