Principal Xin Zhiping Former Reidence

In memory of the achievements of Xin Zhiping, a great educator and late principal of Hinchu Senior High Schol.  

Located on Dongmen Street in Hsinchu City, the former residence of Principal Xin Zhiping is known as one of the famous historic sites. It is now a place which offers people a chance to know more about Principal Xin Zhiping. In addition, there are some exhibitions in the house sometimes. People can stay there, look around the beautiful Japanese building, and then end the lovely afternoon with a cup of tea at the cafe behind the residence.

The house, allegedly built in 1922 in the Japanese era, was an official principal's residence for Shinchiku Junior High School ( Today's HCHS ). After it was designated as a historic site in 2002. the Hsinchu City Government proceeded with extensive renovations in memory of the achievements of Xin Zhiping, the great educator and late principal of Hsinchu Senior High School. During the Japanese colonial period, the residence was constructed as a faculty dormitory for the official principals of Shinchiku Junior High School. Three years after ( about 1925 ), the school moved to the present location and the original campus was taken over by Shinchiku Girl's Senior High School (Today's Hsinchu Girl's Senior High School ) The official principal's residence, however, did not move with Hsinchu Junior High School. In 1945, Xin Zhiping moved to Taiwan and was assigned as the principal of Shinchiku Junior High School. He lived in the residence until he passed away in 1985. The residence was not renovated up to 2002.
