Originally built of wood, Hsinchu City's Eastern Gate has
since been renovated in concrete, and the only original part
of the construction is the granite base. This gate is often
referred to as 'the heart of Hsinchu,' due in part to an ancient

nostalgia that extends back several generations to the city's
historic beginnings.
