Hsinchu City is a place to take note of.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re like me, always on the hunt for yummy eats in and around Taiwan<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, then you’re in for a treat today! Let me take you on a journey to a city that’s often overshadowed by the bustling streets of Taipei but holds its own unique charm – Hsinchu City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’ve got a soft spot for Hsinchu. Both Hsinchu and Keelung<\/a><\/span><\/strong> are my regular little culinary escapes from the Taipei hustle and bustle. Situated in the northern part of Taiwan<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, Hsinchu City is a treasure trove of traditional flavours, in comparison it is also more reasonably priced, and, best of all, it’s usually less crowded than the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n

What are some good gifts in Hsinchu?<\/h2>\n
\n\n

Hsinchu has some great hand made gifts such as pottery, wood carvings, and bamboo crafts. But their food gifts are more notable with some of the top gifts being peanut butter, pork balls, and locally grown tea leaves.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
