Tongxin Family Garden Introduction
The historical witness of the sugar industry in Huwei is located at Tongxin Garden in Yunlin, Huwei. It currently features Taiwan Sugar No. 11 steam locomotive, a monument commemorating the introduction of South African sugarcane variety 310, and various sugar-making tools for visitors to explore. The garden is filled with early Taiwanese camphor trees and tropical plants transplanted from Southeast Asia, which not only chronicle the rise and fall of the sugar industry in Huwei but also provide relief from the scorching sun in Yunlin. Originally, Tongxin Garden was a place for sugar factory employees and their families to relax, but it has now become a weekend leisure spot for the townspeople. The compact park includes a small train and a monument honoring the introduction of South African sugarcane variety 310, highlighting the connection between Tongxin Garden and the development of Huwei Sugar Factory.
