Definition of "Guanxi"

Visitors who do reach the town, in the hills of Hsinchu County southwest of the island’s capital city, Taipei, will find quiet, rural scenery, unique local food, unusual types of tea and a museum tour they’d be hard pressed to get anywhere else. Guanxi Township is also notable for its predominantly Hakka population; the Hakka were a nomadic people who settled widely around southern China and Taiwan, and are known for their courtyard homes. The first Hakka reached Taiwan in the 1600s.
