Zhubei City

Zhubei City (Chinese: 竹北市; pinyin: Zhúběi shì; Wade–Giles: Chu-pei Shih; POJ: Tek-pak-chhī) is a city and the county seat of Hsinchu County, Taiwan. Zhubei's prior name "red fur field" (紅毛田) was attributed to the Japanese conquer period during the Second World War. Over the recent years, Zhubei has become a popular city of immigration as the Hsinchu County government has focused most of its infrastructure here.

Economics

• The agricultural aspect of Zhubei has reformed from the crop plantations to floral and fruits that attracts tourists.
• Parts of the Zhubei city has remained to stay in its traditional infrastructures post old-city demolishment.

Geography

Zhubei borders Hukou Township to the north, Zhutong to the northeast and the Taiwan strait to its west. It is the discharge point of the Fongshan River and the Touqian River to the Taiwan strait. Zhubei remains to be a satellite city of Hsinchu City after the Hsinchu city had reformed to become a special municipality in 1982. Due to the disintegrate of Hsinchu City from the Hsinchu County and the naturalization of the Hsinchu County seat, Zhubei has acquired a increasing capital inflow of real estates and population.
