Tongxin Homestead Introduction
Tongxin Garden, a witness to the history of the Huwei Sugar Industry, is located in Huwei, Yunlin. It features the Taiwan Sugar No. 11 steam locomotive, a monument commemorating the introduction of the South African 310 sugarcane variety, and sugar-making tools for public visits. The area is landscaped with many early Taiwanese camphor trees and tropical plants imported from Southeast Asia, reflecting the rise and fall of the sugar industry in Huwei, while also alleviating the intense sunlight of Yunlin. Originally intended as a recreational place for sugar factory employees and their families, Tongxin Garden has now become a leisure destination for residents on weekends. The small park also houses a miniature train and features a monument for the introduction of the South African 310 sugarcane variety, signifying the relationship between Tongxin Garden and the development of the Huwei Sugar Factory.
