【新竹】 没想到新竹这么美！从火车站步行到8个超好拍景点，总龄超1500岁！必吃冰沙豆花、东门市场米粉汤、城隍庙小吃，无需开车，新竹一日游攻略！| 1000步

If I say, "Let’s try the new camera and go to Hsinchu to shoot,"
Would you be surprised?
Don’t doubt it! This is definitely a walk-and-shoot trip (of course with lots of eating too).
It’s a one-day itinerary that doesn’t require traveling far but offers lots of fun!

Hsinchu might be known for tech, a food desert, and high property prices,
but it actually has a lot of diversity.
I want to share with you a charming, easy route through the old town area.
The 300-year-old First Street, the old city gate from the Qing Dynasty, and the moat — steady and reliable daily life in Hsinchu;
the Japanese-era train station, library, and first department store — those glorious, era-specific fusion of Eastern and Western styles.
After this walk,
I believe you’ll feel the same —
Hsinchu is so beautiful!

I took many of my favorite photos with the Sony ZV-E10 II.
