Windy HsinChu-downtown

HsinChu is the Silicon Valley of Taiwan. The county used to be known for its Hakka culture, tempestuous weather and rice noodles, but recently it's been home for successful young engineers.

There were police and securities on the streets today. When taking a walk to the central city park after lunch, we ran into the president of Taiwan.





A river runs through the central park in downtown HsinChu.





The East City Gate of HsinChu, where many teens gather rehearsing street dance.

a map of HsinChu? Hmm...good idea, I'm still looking for a good one myself.

I do miss google map... Several of the roads here don't even have a name, so map.google don't work well in Taiwan...
