Description of Our Community: In the past Hsinchu was known as Chu-chien. ¡¥Chien¡¦ is pronounced in the same way as another character that means ¡¥seashore¡¦; this word was chosen because the native inhabitants of Hsinchu, the Dokas Clan, a branch of the aboriginal Pingpu Tribe, conducted their activities in an area by the seashore.
In 1956, National Tsing Hua University was relocated in Hsinchu. In 1958, National Chiao Tung University established the Institute of Electronics in Taipei, with its main campus in Hsinchu; it was created for the purpose of fostering talented leaders in the field of electronics, in order to assist the government in its endeavors. Hsinchu Science Park was established in 1980. In 1986, Lee Yuan-Tseh, a native of Hsinchu, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Due to the creation of its science park and the prominence of its Nobel Laureate, Hshinchu has become more well-known in recent years. As we survey its past and think of its future, we see that Hsinchu is rich in human resources and scientific capabilities; surely Hsinchu will become a beautiful city, steeped in history, and at the same time in full step with the modern world. However, this community is abundant with lots of cultural heritage. We will have a further exploration on that. Join us for the cultural tour!
Project Description: Our main focus was on the cultural heritage of Hsinchu. Such was our main goal to achieve and we collected the data accordingly. In our homepage we included The Chin Shih¡¦s Residence, Chinkuangfu (Chin¡¦ means government; ¡¥Kuang¡¦ Kuangtung Province; and ¡¥Fu¡¦ Fukien Province), The Hsinchu Confucian Temple, Pengfeng Tea (Oriental Beauty Tea), The Great Civic Theater, Huko Old Street, Heavenly Mercy Temple, to name only a few. We tried to put them on the homepage without losing the authenticity. We want to impress our net visitors with a virtual experience.
