On the other hand, the discovery that Hsin-hsiang City, with one of the largest concentrations of machinery plants, already had 70,000 industrial workers in 1965 (and 100,000 in 1974), suggests that a considerable portion of the presently visible development may be 10-15 years old.

In Hsin-hsiang, further to the south, a pottery kiln and three burials were excavated at Lu-wang-fen in 1958, yielding remains of both early and late phases.
