流浪的心676:“Did you know? In Hsinchu, there is an old zoo with a long history. It has accompanied many young people and children as they grow up, and has also become a childhood memory for many people. But as the times evolved, many problems began to appear in the old zoo. In order to regain the charm of the zoo, after a two-and-a-half-year rebirth plan, the Hsinchu Zoo is no longer just a simple animal exhibition venue, but also a space that advocates animal conservation and friendliness. In addition to providing every animal with a comfortable habitat and living space, it has also been built into a restaurant loved by netizens, including Starbucks! It is also surrounded by Hsinchu Park and the Glass Craft Museum, making it one of the most popular attractions in Hsinchu! If you haven’t been to Hsinchu Zoo for a long time, you might as well go there with your family and friends during the holidays!”

流浪的心676:“When traveling to Hsinchu, if you only know about eating, you will be at a big loss! Today I will take you to visit the Hsinchu City God Temple, the oldest City God Temple in Taiwan. This place is full of incense and antique. It is the only Chenghuang Temple in Taiwan facing north and south. From the moment you enter, there are various ways of praying for visitors to choose from. Here you will definitely feel the devout faith of the Taiwanese people. After visiting the temple, we went to try Hsinchu’s famous meatballs. This restaurant has been selling rice noodles, meatball soup and meatballs for 30 years. Their meatballs are beaten into a flat shape by hand and have a particularly chewy texture. Dip it in the special sauce and it tastes great! After you have eaten and drank enough, let’s go to Hsinchu Night Market together and feel the local fireworks!”

I strongly recommend you to come and have a look. In addition, my friend recommended that the Kung Fu noodles are delicious. I tried it and it was really delicious. I also ordered snacks such as radish cake and bamboo tube rice cake, which were all very delicious. The best thing is that you can get a number to line up for lunch at noon on weekdays.

It is highly recognized for its insistence on the labor-intensive and high-cost "charcoal grilled meat", which is the unique flavor of Yamatoyuan grilled pork. In addition, the quality of their carefully selected ingredients is definitely visible and will definitely conquer your taste buds. If you come to Hsinchu, it is definitely worth a try!”

Located in Chenghuang Temple, Liujia Braised Pork Rice and Shandong Tofu was established in 1931, and has a history of nearly a hundred years. It has been passed down for several generations. It still has the same old taste, and it is good quality and cheap.”

翱翔的大鲨鱼:“Recommend this American-style steak. Pigs of this level mainly grow up eating acorns, and their meat has a different taste and aroma. But I didn’t pay special attention to the aroma of stone fruits. In addition to being rich in oil, there is also a small strip of oil flower on it. The oil flower is eaten with lean meat, and the taste is more layered. When you bite it, the oil will flow through your teeth and cheeks. .”

大衛王的爸爸:“Don't miss Wenchang Chicken Rice in Dongmen, Hsinchu! 🏆 🍗 The Wenchang chicken is incredibly juicy. The meat is incredibly tender and smooth, and paired perfectly with their special sauce. You can't stop eating after one bite! 🍛 We recommend the Braised Chicken Rice/Braised Pork Rice combo. The fragrant marinade drizzled over the rice, combined with the tender chicken, makes for a perfect combination! Kids will love it too! ❤️ 📍Address: Dongmen Street, East District, Hsinchu City Great for family fun and family gatherings. The portions are generous, and the value is excellent! 👍 🌟Tips for visiting the restaurant: It's recommended to avoid peak meal times. You can call ahead to order takeout. #HsinchuFood #WenchangChicken #DongmenFood #TaiwaneseSnacks #BraisedPorkRice”
