Hsinchu Zoo has a relatively small area and doesn't house a large number of animals, but it provides Hsinchu residents with a convenient outdoor educational space. Kindergarten and elementary school students can easily visit various animals, making it a great place for community activities and outdoor learning for students.

There is a mountain view restaurant and a forest cafe in the farm. The farm has different styles throughout the year. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, fireflies in summer, bald cypress and ginkgo in autumn, and sea of ​​clouds in winter. Those who love hiking and climbing can climb to the top of Mount Egongji, where you can eat delicious food and take photos. It is worth going up the mountain to Hsinchu.

There are 17 kilometers of beautiful coastline bicycle trails. Even if you don’t know how to ride a bicycle, you can rent a four-person electric bicycle and go on a trip with family and friends. It is a good place for outdoor activities. And you can also eat fresh seafood

Who said that Taiwan only has night markets? There is actually a glass craft museum hidden in Hsinchu! Here you can not only visit various glass artworks up close, but also watch the master blow glass by hand! The museum is divided into two floors, with various glass art works on display on the first floor. These works are not only unique in shape, but also very colorful, with modern abstract and traditional realism. The second floor is where you can watch glass blowing performances. The master skillfully put the glass rod on the stove to heat and soften it, and then blew it at the glass rod with a long blowpipe, and a cup was formed. The whole process is very interesting, and I suggest that everyone must come and experience the feeling of making a glass cup by hand. In addition, there is a green grass and blooming flowers next to the museum, which is very suitable for taking pictures. If you are a petty bourgeoisie literary youth, don't miss this place!
