Discover the Authentic Hakka Community in Hsinchu County
During the 19th century, many Hakka left Guangdong Province to settle in the town of Beipu, which is located in current day Hsinchu County. The Jinguangfu meeting hall, which has been declared a first-class historic site, was the political and economic center of Hakka life. Just opposite is another historic site, Tian Shui Hall. This solid structure was built to withstand the wind and offer safety from any attack. It is an elegant example of traditional Hakka architecture. The rich Hakka culture and abundance of historic sites make Beipu an attractive place to visit.
