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.

International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park

The International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park (IBSH; Chinese: 國立科學工業園區實驗高級中學雙語部), formerly known as Bilingual Department of National Experimental High School At Science Based Industrial Park, is near the Hsinchu Science Park. It is part of a public, coeducational school (preprimary-12), National Experimental High School (NEHS). Founded in August 1983, the school was proposed by the founder of the Science Park Kwoh-Ting Li and administered by Ministry of Education, National Science Council and administration of the Park. Originally IBSH was formed to attract high-tech talent and technologies to move to Hsinchu Science park, but the Ministry of Education won't allow the creation of a school based solely for oversea workers. Thus, NEHS was created to satisfy the conditions set by the Ministry of Education. IBSH only admits children of employees of private enterprises in the Park, government organizations, Industrial Technology Research Institute, National Chiao Tung University and National Tsing Hua University. The Bilingual Department of NEHS changed its name before the 2008-2009 school year after a visit from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges in the spring of 2008. In summer 2011, IBSH was granted WASC accreditation. It serves students in the English-speaking community who seek an American college-preparatory education or plan to transfer into the local school system.
