The Hsinchu Prefectural Library, opened in 1925, was designed by architect Takeo Ushiki. Its location connects the nearby Dongmen City Roundabout, the Hsinchu moat, the Hsinchu City Hall, and the Hsinchu Prefectural Government Building. The library was in use until 1982, when Shin Kong Life Insurance purchased it from the Hsinchu County Government to demolish and build a commercial building, a plan blocked by the Hsinchu City Government. Now a designated municipal historic site, it reopened in late September 2020, revitalized with a café.
