      Hsinchuang township lies within the Taipei basin on the north side of the Tamshui River. Most of the township consists of flat alluvial land used for rice paddy. Although the township is situated a short distance north of the main railroad from Taipei to Kaohsiung, it is directly located on one of the main highways leading southwest from Taipei, and frequent buses travel to and from Taipei. Roads within the township are good although often crowded. The town of Hsinchuang is the site of both Foojen University, a Roman Catholic Institution supported in large part with funds from West Germany, and the Taiwan Provincial Institute of Health.

      So what does a scene do when the Shidahood Self-Help Organizations of the world brashly defy the sacristy of their basement hovels and scream at them to leave? The scene heads out from the interior into the hinterland of the suburbs. They make tracks for Holy Land (聖地搖滾工作室) in Hsinchuang. They seek out alternative venues, as a group of punks, metal heads and other denizens of the alternative music community did last weekend, staging a show under a bridge in Taipei’s Guting Riverside Park. They resist and survive.
