By 1723, a walled city was built here out of bamboo, because brick walls were forbidden for fear of a revolt against the Qing authorities. The name Zhuqiancheng (\u7af9\u5879\u57ce) literally means bamboo moat city. The bamboo-walled city had four gates and its perimeter was about 1.4 KM long. In 1806, the city was upgraded with earthen walls. In 1828, the city walls and gates were finally made into brick, with the perimeter covering 2.7 KM, and walls 5 meters high, the center of the city being the Chenghuang City God Temple.\u00a0In 1901, the Japanese government decided to redesign the City of Hsinchu and destroyed all the gates and walls except the existing East Gate.\u00a0<br>In the ROC era, the Hsinchu Science Park was established in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hsinchu_Science_Park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1980<\/a>\u00a0under President Chiang Jingkuo and was made to model Silicon Valley. TSMC, Taiwan&#8217;s most important corporation, was formed in 1987 with its headquarters in the park and created a technological hub, making Hsinchu indispensable to Taiwan&#8217;s economy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When to visit:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is best to visit from April to November when the weather is warm and less windy.<br>There is a constant, cold northeasterly wind from December to March especially along the coast.
