Events in Hsinchu

Hsinchu is known for its tech parks, but look past the semiconductor campuses and you'll find a windswept city with deep Hakka heritage and a surprisingly lively performing arts circuit. The Hsinchu City God Temple plaza still hosts traditional opera, while the old downtown's glassmaking legacy lives on in studios and small museums.
