If you're seeking a place to escape the busy city life, there's a restaurant located in the mountains of Hsinchu called Xin Xian Forest, which offers a truly beautiful view.
Although there is an entrance fee, it's definitely worth a visit. You can enjoy a leisurely walk amidst the stunning natural surroundings, capture some memorable pictures, and exchange your ticket for a refreshing cold drink, particularly enjoyable in the hot summer weather.
Xin Xian Forest boasts a spacious park, a pathway that winds through a bamboo forest, a charming little river, and ample space for children to run and play. During autumn, you can delight in the changing colors of the bald cypress and maple trees. Additionally, there is a small rose garden, and you may even find some fruit and vegetable crops growing there.

Green Grass Lake
Another recommended destination is Green Grass Lake (Qingcao Lake). Originally built as a dam in 1956, it has since been transformed into a recreational area by the government in 1987. A bridge will take you to a small island in the middle of the lake, where you can sit and admire the beautiful scenery that surrounds you.
Although the place is not large and lacks much of interest nearby, it's still a pleasant location for a stroll. Nevertheless, I observed that many people sought refuge in the shade to gaze at the city view reflected in the water. The only downside I encountered was the presence of large ants walking around.
Hsinchu Park, located near the zoo, features a small lake, a Confucius Temple, and cherry trees that blossom in October and March. The pavilion is often bustling with people, and there are numerous food vendors near the entrance.
If you prefer not to visit the beach, spending time near the river can be a good alternative. You can come to Tofu Rocks in Zhubei. The surrounding grasslands offer an ideal spot for picnics, while children have space to play and enjoy nature.
