Hsinchu Shulintou Air Force Villages

Established in late 1949 for 150 households of the 8th Group, who arrived from the mainland by air and moved into tile-roofed houses left behind by the Japanese. Its site is now occupied by redeveloped apartment towers beside Zaixi Elementary School (載熙國小).

Built in 1950 for 96 households of the 8th Group and rebuilt around 1960 with funds from the Women’s League (婦聯會). In 1980 it became one of the air force’s first pilot redevelopments, replaced by five-storey public housing renamed Huaide New City (懷德新城).

Former Japanese aviators’ quarters taken over by 8th Group pilots, many of whom were killed flying joint US–ROC reconnaissance missions; air force anti-aircraft artillery units resettled 193 households here in 1952. Rebuilt as public housing towers in 1994.

Established in 1955 for 59 households who had been living in a warehouse on Beida Road (北大路) until the site was cleared for a Catholic church. Demolished and replaced by a privately developed mixed-use high-rise.

Built in 1950 with welfare funds of the 20th Group for 129 households on the site of a Japanese barracks flattened by American bombing in World War 2. A parking lot was built on the site of much of the village after it was razed and it was briefly home to Shulintou Night Market (樹林頭夜市).

Established in 1955 for 95 households from the 8th Group, 11th Group, and 202nd Supply Group on former Japanese barracks land. Its wooden homes were rebuilt in brick in 1976.

Established in 1960 after a typhoon for 163 households drawn from several air force units, who moved in two years later. The nearby 814 Cigarette Factory (814菸廠) and an ordnance disposal plant at Qingcao Lake (青草湖) provided work for dependents.
