Tongxin Home Introduction
The Witness of Huwei Sugar Industry is located in Tongxin Garden, Huwei, Yunlin. It features the Taiwan Sugar No. 11 steam locomotive, a monument commemorating the introduction of the South African 310 sugarcane variety, and various sugar production tools available for visitors to see. The internal vegetation mainly consists of early Taiwanese camphor trees and tropical plants transplanted from Southeast Asia, reflecting the historical rise and fall of Huwei's sugar industry while providing relief from Yunlin's scorching sun. Tongxin Garden was originally a recreational area for sugar factory employees and their families, and it has now become a leisure place for residents during weekends. The compact park also houses a small train and a monument dedicated to the introduction of the South African 310 sugarcane variety, commemorating the arrival of this variety shortly after the end of World War II, illustrating the relationship between Tongxin Garden and Huwei Sugar Factory.
