Tongxin Community Introduction
The Witness of the History of Huwei Sugar Industry is located at Tongxin Garden in Huwei, Yunlin. It features Taiwan Sugar No. 11 steam locomotive, a monument commemorating the introduction of the South African 310 sugarcane variety, and sugar-making tools available for public visits. The garden is filled with trees, mostly early Taiwan camphor and tropical plants transplanted from Southeast Asia, which seem to record the rise and fall of the Huwei sugar industry while alleviating the scorching sun of Yunlin. Tongxin Garden originally served as a recreational area for sugar factory employees and their families, and has now become a leisure destination for local residents on weekends. The compact park also has a small train and a monument commemorating the introduction of the South African 310 sugarcane variety, highlighting the connection between Tongxin Garden and the development of the Huwei Sugar Factory.
