Hsinchu (also romanized as Xinzhu), officially known as Hsinchu City (Chinese: 新竹市), is a city in northern Taiwan. Hsinchu is popularly nicknamed "The Windy City" for its windy climate. Hsinchu is administered as a provincial city within Taiwan.
In 1626, after Spain occupied northern Taiwan, Spanish missionaries arrived at Teckcham (竹塹; zhúqiàn; Tek-khàm), where the Taokas Taiwanese aborigines lived. The city was first settled by Han Chinese in 1711. In 1878 during Qing rule, Teckcham Subprefecture was converted into a district and renamed Hsinchu. After Taiwan Province was established in 1887, Hsinchu was a part of Taipeh Prefecture.
By 1904, the city population was 16,371, ranked 7th, following Keelung and followed by Shoka. In 1920, under Japanese rule, Shinchiku Cho was upgraded to Shinchiku Town. In 1930, the town was renamed as Shinchiku City, under Shinchiku Prefecture. In 1941, its administration district was expanded, annexing Kōzan village (modern-day Xiangshan), whereas Kyūminato village (旧港庄) and Rokka village (六家庄) became Chikuhoku village (竹北庄, modern-day Zhubei) under the same district.

Taiwan (i/ˌtaɪˈwɑːn/; Chinese: 臺灣 or 台灣; see below), officially the Republic of China (ROC; Chinese: 中華民國; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Mínguó), is a sovereign state in East Asia. The Republic of China, originally based in mainland China, now governs the island of Taiwan, which constitutes more than 99% of its territory, as well as Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and other minor islands, following its loss of the mainland China territory in 1949 in the Chinese Civil War. This remaining area is also constitutionally called the "Free area of the Republic of China" which is not ruled by the Communist Party of China in Beijing.
Neighboring states include the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the west (mainland China), Japan to the east and northeast, and the Philippines to the south. Taiwan is one of the most densely populated countries in the world with a population density of 649 people per km2 in October 2015.Taipei is the seat of the central government, and together with the surrounding cities of New Taipei and Keelung forms the largest metropolitan area on the island.

My trip to Taiwan (to visit none other than Tracy St. John!) was my FIRST journey outside the country. We spent the first weekend in Taipei and visited the Shilin Night Market, National Palace Museum, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Taipei 101, and the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. We took the high speed rail, a train, and taxi to finally arrive at Tracy's apartment. The first full week in Taiwan coincided with my birthday and Tracy was busy at work. So... I did the logical thing and brought along my DJI Phantom 3 Professional! I set off with bubble tea and the drone in search of adventures. When Tracy finished work we headed to Hsinchu and topped off the day with an amazing dinner - this was a birthday week that I won't forget! I visited one of her schools and was invited to dinner with the ...

Sunrise in the city
Our soldiers are coming home
After 7 years of blablabla
She's waiting by the docks
With a picture in her hands
Of her one and only love
Others are still waiting
While families reunite
With the ones they missed so much
She's still standing alone
Now everyone else has gone home
A soldier walks up to her
with a picture of her in his hand
He said, sorry about your man
No one could have saved him
Sorry to say he isn't coming home
Numbness fills her body, weekening her knees
She wants to run away
Memories come alive, of how it used to be
Before he went away
So many things on her mind,
so many things she wants to know
did he miss me when he was alive
did he suffer or did he just go
he said lady he missed you and
said he'll always love you
sorry to say he isn't coming home
you should be proud he died a man
fighting for his country
sorry to say he isn't coming home
She's still on her own
Tells herself she should have known
That some soldiers fall in war
And don't come home
Now it's time to say goodbye
Trying so hard not to cry
Hoping that some day
