Miaoli Bus (Local Area --> Hsin-Chu City)
There are several Miaoli Bus (苗栗客運) stops near NHRI on Chung-Hwa Road. The closest to Keyan Road is Din-Da-Pu (頂大埔).
To go to Chung-Hwa Road, you need to start from Gate 2, turn right and go to the end of Keyan Road. The walk will take you 15 minutes.
Then, you will see Miaoli Bus Stops along Chung-Hwa Road. The route to Hsin-Chu is the bus stop across the road.
Din-Da-Pu consists of two stops: Din-Da-Pu Stop ([頂大埔站] closer to King Yuan Electronics) and Chung-Shu-Sho Stop
([種畜所站] closer to Keyan Road).
- Going north, the Miaoli Bus will go to Hsin-Chu. It takes around 30 minutes from Din-Da-Pu (Zhunan Science Park) to Hsin-Chu. (Going South, the Miaoloi Bus will go to Toufen, Miaoli, Taichung, etc. Be sure to ask the Drivers.)
- The Miaoli Bus fare from Din-Da-Pu to Hsin-Chu is NT$40.00. (From Toufen to Hsin-Chu is NT$52.00, from Zhunan to Hsin-Chu, NT$55.00). You can buy bus ticket from the Bus Driver when you get on the bus.
- The intervals between buses usually take 25 minutes to 40 minutes. (As Din-Da-Pu is not the start stop in most Miaoli Bus Routes, the bus schedule is not easy to be regular).
- Please note that: if it is the first few times you take the Miaoli Bus, be sure to ask the Bus Driver to tell you to take off when the bus reaches Hsin-Chu Main Station (or vice versa). Hsin-Chu Main Station is located at Chung-Hwa Road of Hsin-Chu City. The Train Station is with 100 meters ahead when you take off the Miaoli Bus. Sogo Department Store stands across the Train Station.
- Hsin-Chu to Zhunan Science Park: A caution was provided by one of our colleagues that "we should be careful while traveling from Hsinchu to NHRI as we have to get down at Din-Da-Pu to reach NHRI. The best way is to look out for the overhead Bridge (for pedestrian crossing) across the road and get down at the [Din-Da-Pu] Chung-Shu-Sho Stop."
