Xiangshan, Hsinchu's coastal Minnan heartland.
Xiangshan District is Hsinchu City's coastal district, long shaped by Minnan fishing and oyster-farming traditions and fringed by tidal wetlands further toward the shore. Its historic "mother school," Xiangshan Elementary, was founded in 1908 through the philanthropy of a local gentry family and gave rise to several of the district's neighborhood schools. See the Hsinchu City county page for more on the region.
