During the Japanese colonial period, the Japanese military established a base at what is now the Hsinchu Air Force Base. Worried that families living near the airport would be vulnerable to bombings, they relocated them to the suburbs — the area now known as Neiwan. The relocated families planted cherry blossom trees all over Neiwan, which painted the village red and pink during the blooming season, earning it the nickname “Cherry Blossom Village.” The small town of Neiwan is well-known across Taiwan for its classic charm nestled between mountains and water. The old street is filled with strong Hakka cultural elements, and the Neiwan Old Theater still retains its vintage character.
