Hsinchu County Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Hsinchu County

Before the arrival of the Han Chinese, the Hsinchu area was home to Taokas plains aborigines, the Saisiyat, and the Atayal. The population of Hsinchu County is now mostly Hakka people (73% as of 2017). There is also a population of about 20,000 indigineous people, mainly from the Atayal and Saisiyat tribes. As a result of its large Hakka population, Hsinchu County is a stronghold for the KMT in presidential elections, though the DPP has made inroads among the younger generation.
