Hsinchu City Zoo: A Walkable Destination from Hsinchu Train Station
👉 Remember to follow the adorable zoo director for more updates 🥰
The oldest zoo in Taiwan, which has undergone renovations to become what it is today. Although the zoo is not very large and is considered an urban zoo, it is very comfortable to visit. It houses medium to small-sized animals such as hippos, tigers, and Malayan bears, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with the animals. A leisurely stroll through the zoo takes about 2 hours.
The ticket prices are very affordable: NT$50 for adults and NT$25 for children. There are two parking lots nearby, and it is also within walking distance from Hsinchu Train Station, making it a very convenient location.

Hsinchu restaurant is the first choice for dating. It has the atmosphere and food you need.
Hsinchu. Zhubei|Lan Zuo Steakhouse
"LAZO Steak" located near Shuizhen Park in Zhubei is famous for its exquisite steaks and innovative dining experience. The high ceiling design combines modernity and luxury - very suitable for couples to dine on a date. In addition to steaks, the restaurant's menu also includes a variety of sides and appetizers to complement the main courses and enhance the overall dining experience.
The pre-meal bread comes with three flavors of cream: original, peanut and truffle, and every bite is full of surprises. I particularly like the mushroom-style coffee. The plate is designed to look like a cup of coffee, making people unable to help but take a second look. The soup is rich and the mushroom particles have a rich taste, bringing multi-layered enjoyment to the taste buds. The main meal is really satisfying. The lobster meat is juicy and sweet, and you can feel the deliciousness of the ocean in every bite. The steak is perfectly cooked to the right level, with a medium-to-high texture and flavor.
All in all, this is really an ideal place for couples to go on dates, celebrate festivals and other special occasions.

Hsinchu Exploration Store, around Jucheng, high CP value, affordable izakaya
"Fufu Kitchen" located on Shijie Street in Hsinchu is decorated with a Japanese-style atmosphere. The first floor is a bar area, and the second floor has independent boxes and multi-person seating areas. This time I ordered a seasonal limited menu (the chef said that it changes every season so that it can give customers a full sense of freshness every time ~ it is considerate enough)
# Salt-roasted Iberian pork pork Q-bombs and chewy set meal will come with vinegar rice + small fried shrimps. The vinegar rice has a strong vinegar flavor and is paired with Iberian pig. It is very satisfying and appetizing. I like it very much # Slow-cooked duck leg vermicelli pot. If you like taro duck stew, don’t miss it. The soup is cooked very rich and delicious. The meat of the duck leg is not dry. #Crispy Cherry Duck Nigiri Sushi. The translucent crispy skin on top of the duck meat brings out the burnt aroma and tastes 100 The taste is also 100 points. #tamagoyaki and #fried shrimp tempura are must-haves for izakayas. Overall, the ingredients in #福福kitchen are fresh and the quantity is sufficient. The location is very close to the Chenghuang Temple and the giant city. Come here when you are tired after the trip. It’s also a good choice to eat~especially the izakayas that open at noon are really rare~recommended

Hsinchu Queue Food Good Taste from Fukuoka, Japan
#NAWHAT TO EAT | Hsinchu City. North District
The popular Japanese tempura specialty store "Xiamen" is officially back after two years of closure!!! The location of the new store is really convenient near the Chenghuang Temple!!! The store has two floors, and the first floor is an open kitchen. In addition to the seating area, the second floor is a small box table for one person like Ichiran (very considerate). It is fun to order and pay using the self-service ordering machine~
Meals are mainly set meals, including main course tempura, soup, rice and side dishes. #Ebiraoteishi is very sincere in giving four grass shrimps with tender meat and a fresh and sweet taste. Every bite is satisfying. # ducktendon set meal comes with 5 slices of duck meat and wild vegetables. The meat is not dry and is easy to eat. The grains are distinct. The white rice is paired with half-cooked egg liquid, and you can really eat it one bite after another! #tempura set meal contains conger eel, white meat fish, chicken breast, flower branches, wild vegetables... etc. The fried food itself is not deliberately seasoned but can show off the flavor. The ingredients are fresh - the oversized conger eel is rich in sweetness and has no fish bones. It is easy to eat. The slightly sour dipping sauce balances the greasiness of the fried food. If you don’t like to eat, you can also buy udon noodles at an additional price. The noodles are soft and absorb the soup. I like it very much. The soup is a bit sweet and very tasty~
The newly relaunched "Laughing Door" has a more textured decoration, and the meals are rich and sincere. It is really full and full!! It is highly recommended for those who like fried tempura to try it. It is recommended to go early on holidays~ because there are already queues of people before the doors open~
🔰 Ebi set meal $420
🔰 Duck Tendon Set Meal $350
🔰 Tempura set meal $380

Exploring Hsinchu: The Perfect Encounter of Tableware and Japanese Cuisine
Hsinchu. East District|Minfood
The name 'Minfood' sounds like 'abundant tableware and food' in Chinese, reminiscent of a cozy yet refined Japanese eatery. The decor features a palette of gray, white, and wood tones, complemented by some greenery, making it a great spot for photos.
As for the savory dishes, they are all light yet flavorful, which I really enjoyed. However, I was quite disappointed with the shaved ice that I had high expectations for. I ordered the #Mulberry Yogurt Shaved Ice, and the combination was a bit odd. The mulberry flavor was not strong enough, which was a pity.
If we only consider the main dishes, I still highly recommend this place.

🔰 Japanese Furikake Crispy Fries ____________ $80
🔰 Grilled Tender Shoulder Beef Sukiyaki _______ $400

Stay one night in a horse-drawn carriage🏕️New Taipei style camping
Have you ever slept on a carriage?
I like tent-free camping, and the camping area I went to this time actually allowed horseback riding.
🐎🐎🐎
As soon as I arrived at the camp, my eyes lit up when I saw the super cute carriage tent🤩
The space inside is large and can accommodate double-decker bunk beds. The mattress is a soft double bed with quilts and pillows. It’s so fun to camp like this🏕️
In addition, the wood-toned interior of the carriage is also very impressive, giving it the atmosphere of a western cowboy movie, which is awesome 🤠
🐎🐎🐎
There’s no need to worry about boredom here, the camp provides interesting equestrian instruction, so you can enjoy horseback riding.
This is my first time riding a horse! Very happy 🥰
Next, there are archery experiences and shooting games. You can enjoy the thrill of shooting with bows, arrows and guns. It’s really fun.
🏹🏹🏹
Dinner is BBQ. It’s really convenient that you don’t need to bring your own ingredients when camping. The campsite will prepare them for you, so you can simply enjoy the picnic with your friends🍖
The carriage at night is also particularly beautiful. Under the light, it looks as romantic as a movie poster✨
Breakfast will be prepared the next day at the camp, including delicious pizza, toast and drinks, thank you~😋

[2023 Hsinchu Attractions] Kite Festival at Nanliao Fishing Port
Hsinchu is a famous windy city, so it is very suitable for hosting this event.
It’s so beautiful. I’ve always wanted to go on a pilgrimage.
A typhoon caused a delay of one week, so I was lucky to be on holiday.
There are indeed a lot of people, and there is an area where you can also fly kites by yourself🪁
Most of them have ocean themes ~ there are many stingrays, squids, whales, etc.
The scene is very spectacular and beautiful; in the evening, the kites will be lit up
The picture of Qi Fei is clearer, but I still prefer to watch it during the day
Blue sky, white clouds and green grass with colorful kites♥︎
If you have a chance next year, remember to come and enjoy it🥰

Atmosphere/Facilities: Indoor air-conditioning, booth seats, independent boxes, restrooms🚻, ancient palace attire
Features: ancient palace style
Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
Regardless of the indoor atmosphere, service or pot items, I personally give them very high praise. After visiting branches in other counties and cities, I still think Guangming Temple is great. Even the pots feel well-designed. The service staff are very friendly and the service is also good. Very thoughtful.
We ordered Laohuo soup and spicy mandarin duck pot. The spicy pot base is all you can eat. The Laohuo soup soup is rich and delicious. The spicy pot is also super delicious. The waiters will keep refilling the duck blood and tofu pot base. Not long after eating, the clerk came to ask if I needed more. The service attitude was super good.
Each table has free tea with unlimited refills, and free smoothies are provided during meals. There are also many discount activities in the store. The service staff will check out what activities are available at that time and enthusiastically recommend them!
Their seats all have partitions, so the privacy is quite good. The boxes are all named after different emperors, and the decoration of the boxes is also very special! Well worth a return visit!
【Hsinchu】Leofoo Village Zoo 🐅 Capture moments of animal life
"Leofoo Village Theme Park" is located in Guanxi Town, Hsinchu County, and "Leofoo Village Zoo" is one of the parks. It is the largest open wildlife park in Taiwan, with as many as 70 species and thousands of animals living here.
Here we can watch various wild animals at close range. Among them, the "herbivore area" where giraffes, antelopes, zebras and other herbivores are located requires a steam train tour; the "beast area" where Bengal tigers, African lions and Taiwanese black bears are located, you need to take a steam train tour. You need to take a sightseeing bus to visit. The park also has a special cage car (at your own expense, about NT$2,000 per person), which allows you to have closer face-to-face contact with these beasts.
When I saw different animals along the way, I also picked up the camera to capture some moments of animal life📷 Some of them were bored or sleeping lazily, some were playing together or in groups, and some would Walk up to the sightseeing car and say hello. It is really interesting to observe and record their ecology!
It is recommended that everyone spend half a day at Leofoo Village Zoo to observe the animal ecology when traveling to Taiwan. You can also visit other parks in Leofoo Village during the rest of the time.

[Hsinchu/Beipu] Hunan Jiujiu braised food🦆|Must-eat braised food in Beipu Old Street, super tasty, super spicy, very delicious💕
This hotel has two stations. In my impression, 2pm is a watershed moment.
Before 2 o'clock, it will be at No. 28 Beipu Street. After 2 o'clock, it will be on the road to Yi Ke Bao.
If you want to eat and see, you have to look for it yourself~
(Irresponsible sharing hahahahahahahahahahahahaha)(´∇`)ノ
-
.*/A big pack of braised food. I forgot how much it cost. It seems to be around 200.
Be sure to add spiciness. Their spiciness is spicy, very Hunan flavor!!!
Their braised food is blended and marinated with 32 kinds of spices - ̗̀𖤐
This time I ordered pig intestines, pig ears, dried tofu, tofu skin, sweet and spicy, and hundred pages of tofu.
You can order whatever you want. In the end, it’s really a big bag (◍¯∀¯◍)
Everything is really delicious!!
But this time I felt it was saltier than last time (´❛-❛`)
It would be better if it wasn't so salty~
Push pig intestines, tofu skin, sweet or spicy, hundred pages of tofu✌🏻
The pig hair on the pig ears was not cleaned very clean. What a pity...
(Some weighers can tell the boss directly how much they want to sell for)
-
Overall rating:
The first time I tried it, it was less salty and more spicy.
The second time it was too salty, the spicy taste was completely covered up.
There are quite a few 1-star reviews on Google Maps
But I personally think it’s pretty good and quite delicious!!!
About four stars~
I still recommend it to friends who like to try new things💕
(Although it is not cheap, I think the price is similar to that in Zhubei)

Hsinchu City God Temple
#Hsinchu #HsinchuDuchengHuangMiao
Hsinchu is located in the northwest of Taiwan and is known as a city famous for its rice noodles. There are many popular tourist spots that can be visited on a day trip from Taipei. One of them is the HsinchuDuchengHuangMiao, which is a 7-minute walk from Hsinchu Station and is dotted with several local markets that can only be found there. The B-class gourmet that is particularly recommended is fried rice noodles, which are deep-fried in oil and contain a thick soup with a sweet flavor and plenty of ingredients such as egg liquid, squid, and fried fish.
Hsinchu Shibajianshan City God Temple Entrance
Half-day tour in Hsinchu, craving for food but afraid of getting fat
It is recommended to go to Shibajianshan first to eliminate calories. This mountain is very easy.
After climbing, you can go to the entrance of the Chenghuang Temple to enjoy delicious food.
My favorite Miaokou delicacy is moist pancakes, especially the meringue inside is very delicious.
Other parts of Gongmaru have their own advantages.
Hai Rui is a relatively long-established store.
A great place to eat and drink

The ancestor of Taiwan’s railway retro
#100WAYS TO TRAVEL #railway #新庄 #长华#railway station #fan-shaped garage #railway
To talk about retro, we have to mention the Taiwan Railway, which allows you to travel around the island. Each station along the line has its own unique features. In addition to the Alishan and Jiji train lines that I have been to over the years, the sea line from Hsinchu to Changhua this time is also very special. Worth recommending, it only takes two hours to walk from the German-style Hsinchu Railway Station to the classic Changhua Railway Station, and you can also visit the Changhua Fan-shaped Garage!
