Hsinchu Zoo has a relatively small area and doesn't house a large number of animals, but it provides Hsinchu residents with a convenient outdoor educational space. Kindergarten and elementary school students can easily visit various animals, making it a great place for community activities and outdoor learning for students.

There is a mountain view restaurant and a forest cafe in the farm. The farm has different styles throughout the year. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, fireflies in summer, bald cypress and ginkgo in autumn, and sea of clouds in winter. Those who love hiking and climbing can climb to the top of Mount Egongji, where you can eat delicious food and take photos. It is worth going up the mountain to Hsinchu.

Simacus, known as the tribe of God, is located in Jianshi Township, Hsinchu, about 1,500 meters above sea level. It is the aboriginal tribe in the deepest mountains in Taiwan. It is also the last area to receive electricity, so it is described as isolated. The bustling paradise.
However, due to the inconvenient transportation, Simacus has been able to completely preserve the Atayal culture and the most primitive appearance of the mountains and forests. This kind of place is best for people who want to take a spiritual journey.
