Very rarely is Hsinchu considered the ultimate tourist destination in Taiwan, and while it does not surpass Taipei in terms of popularity, it does however, possess a certain charm that makes city dwellers content with life there, and travelers captivated by the simple way of life in the city.

Weather

Also known as the Windy City due to the vigorous winds that constantly blow in from the Straits of Taiwan, Hsinchu’s weather is pretty much cool most of the time. During summertime, the city is frequented by travelers while the amount slightly lessens during winter. However, travelers are eager to witness the Lunar New Year celebrations held at this time so they did not mind the cold weather very much.
