Tongxin Garden Introduction
The history witness of the Huwei sugar industry is located in the Tongxin Garden in Huwei, Yunlin. It features the Taiwan Sugar No. 11 steam locomotive, a memorial for the introduction of the South African 310 sugarcane variety, and sugar-making tools for visitors to explore. The internal trees are mainly early Taiwanese camphor and tropical plants transplanted from Southeast Asia, which vividly record the rise and fall of the Huwei sugar industry while softening the intense sun of Yunlin. The Tongxin Garden was originally a resting place for sugar factory employees and their families, and it has now become a recreational spot for the townspeople on weekends. The park, though small, contains a miniature train and a "Memorial for the Introduction of the South African 310 Sugarcane Variety," commemorating the introduction of the 310 sugarcane from South Africa in the early post-war period, reflecting the relationship between Tongxin Garden and the Huwei Sugar Factory.
