Introducing Beipu
‘I’m a little bit Lukang, I’m a little bit Meinong, too.’

With all due respect to Donnie and Marie, that’s Beipu (Běipǔ), a small Hsinchu County town that in recent years has, like the others, tried to pull in visitors with its Hakka cultural heritage. Lest our little jingle makes it sound like Beipu has not been successful, we have to note that it makes for an excellent day trip. There’s a nice authentic feel to the place, and while it could be a little cleaner, the quality of its attractions (temples, teahouses, old houses and some speciality foods) is quite good. It’s certainly one of the best places to try Hakka pounded tea.
