14 新竹車站
14 Hsinchu Station

新竹車站為臺鐵縱貫線及內灣線的鐵路車站，此外內灣線及六家線以此站為折返點。新竹車站是劉銘傳鐵路的終點，日治時期時將原有路線部分改線，並計畫向南興建縱貫鐵路，同時將新竹車站改建為木造站房。現今站體於大正二年（1913年）完工，建築樣式結合了巴洛克風格與德式哥德風，具有陡斜的屋頂，為整個車站帶來優美典雅的異國情調，加上厚實的紅磚牆壁，讓設計繁複的建築更顯莊重，線條分明的設計點綴著細緻的裝飾。二戰後整修的樣子與原設計較不同。是臺灣最古老的現役站房，為國定古蹟。目前正在進行新竹大車站平台計畫的綜合規劃中。 Hsinchu Station is a railway station on the Taiwan Railways Administration's (TRA) Longitudinal Line and Neiwan Line. The Neiwan Line and Liujia Line also use this station as a turnaround point. Hsinchu Station was the terminus of the Liu Mingchuan Railway. During the Japanese occupation, part of the original route was rerouted, and a Longitudinal Railway was planned to be built southward. Hsinchu Station was rebuilt as a wooden station building. The current station was completed in 1913 (Taisho 2). Its architectural style combines Baroque and German Gothic elements, featuring steeply sloping roofs that give the station a beautiful and elegant exotic feel. The thick red brick walls further enhance the solemnity of the complex design, with clean lines adorned with delicate decorations. The post-World War II renovations resulted in a different appearance from the original design. It is Taiwan's oldest active railway station and a national historic site. Currently, comprehensive planning for the Hsinchu Grand Station platform project is underway.
