Hukou

Hukou is best known in Hsinchu County for Hukou Old Street, a preserved early-20th-century commercial street closely tied to the area’s Hakka community. The township sits between the Hsinchu Plain and low foothills in northern Taiwan, within the densely settled corridor linking Hsinchu and Taoyuan. Red-brick shop houses and façades with Western-influenced ornamentation shape the old street’s character, while Hakka cooking and religious traditions remain important parts of local life. More residential than metropolitan, Hukou provides a useful introduction to the cultural landscape beyond Taiwan’s largest cities.
