Hsinchu County is home to the largest Hakka community in Taiwan, and because of the insular communities that thrive there, what visitors see is an extremely well-preserved location with customs and traditions that are unique from the rest of Taiwan. There are many recommended spots for tourists to visit, with one of the main points of interest being the scenic Shei-Pa National Park. Other sites and attractions include Guanwu National Forest, the Leofoo Village theme park, Emei Lake, and the Xiakaluo Historic Trail filled with artillery posts and police stations that were erected during the period when the Japanese occupied it.
