Xinzhuang Railway Station (Taiwan)
Xinzhuang railway station (Chinese: 新莊車站; pinyin: Xīnzhuāng Chēzhàn) is a railway station located in East District, Hsinchu City, Taiwan. It is located on the Neiwan line and is operated by Taiwan Railways.
When the station opened in 2011, it was named Zhuke railway station (Chinese: 竹科車站; pinyin: Zhúkē Chēzhàn), after the Hsinchu Science Park. However, the name was met with controversy from locals, who wanted the station name to reflect local culture. The name was changed to Xinzhuang in January 2013.
