–Attraction Introduction–

[Huwei, the Furusato of Puppet Show]
When discussing Taiwanese glove puppetry, a source of national pride, one cannot overlook its Furusato– Huwei Township in Yunlin County. Let's take a closer look at the Yunlin Glove Puppet Museum located in Huwei. The museum showcases the history of glove puppetry and displays static puppets, allowing the public to learn about the development of traditional glove puppetry and to preserve this cultural heritage. The museum provides a space for people to absorb glove puppetry culture, understand its history, and ultimately appreciate this traditional art form.

【Baishui Lake Shoudao】※This attraction may require wading due to high tide; please prepare to remove your shoes or sandals. Baishui Lake is one of the famous salt fields in Dongshi Township. Although named "lake," there is actually no freshwater lake in the area. The name Baishui Lake comes from the terrain of the old salt field. The "Zhangxing Company," a joint venture between Japanese and Tainan residents, once built a seawall in this area. However, after many years of construction, the seawall was not perfect. During frequent typhoons, the outer shore of the seawall would collapse, and seawater would flood in, creating a white expanse on the salt field, hence the name "Baishui Lake" (White Water Lake). Currently, due to the implementation of the mechanized salt drying policy by Taiwan Salt Corporation in 1983, it has been transformed into a quiet traditional community.

【Kaohsiung Light Rail Experience - Glory Pier - Pier-2 Art Center and Penglai】
Located at the intersection of the Love River estuary and Kaohsiung Harbor, Glory Pier was once Pier 13, a crucial hub for transporting personnel and military supplies from Kinmen and Matsu. After its service was completed, it was renamed Glory Pier and opened to the public as a tourist and recreational area. Whether gazing at the magnificent view of the blue sea, sky, and city skyscrapers, or admiring the different scenery of Kaohsiung Harbor at dawn and dusk, it is a truly captivating experience.

[Shuijiaoshe Cultural Park]
Opened at the end of 2019, the Shuijiaoshe Cultural Park retains the style of a military dependents' village. Houses and tiled roofs are raised on cement platforms, with wooden lattice windows and doors. Drainage pipes run along the brick and tile eaves before cascading down steeply. Surrounding the houses are excavated ditches and long, swaying reed beds. The park's ecology extends beyond this; ponds with green leaves accentuate delicate lotus flowers, and old trees with gnarled roots cling to the walls. People chat and laugh, creating a tranquil atmosphere for leisurely strolls. The park is nicknamed "Aircraft Village" because an F-5E fighter jet is stationed there.

[Changhua Fan-Shaped Garage]
The Fan-Shaped Garage, a national historic site, is a well-preserved treasure of Taiwan's railway heritage. It's the only remaining Fan-Shaped Garage in Taiwan and serves as a locomotive hotel. From the observation deck, you can gaze down at the entire Fan-Shaped Garage from above, where you can see trains slowly rotating around the central 360-degree turntable. This turntable serves as the hub for trains entering and exiting. Following this, 12 tracks radiate outward in a semicircular arc toward the Garage, creating a striking, radiating pattern. A national treasure, a steam locomotive, quietly stands nearby, offering visitors a glimpse into the history and culture of the region.

【Wanjing Art Garden】
In 1992, Chairman Chen Cangxing saw a century-old camphor tree lying in front of a camphor oil factory, still sprouting new buds. Moved by compassion, he bought and adopted it, giving the century-old camphor tree a new lease on life. This led to the establishment of the Old Tree Shelter Bank, and subsequently, the creation of a garden primarily featuring native Taiwanese plants. Over the past decade, the garden has been continuously expanded and its landscaped buildings have been added. It is now the largest and finest garden in Taiwan, filled with rare flowers, trees, and rocks, and possesses the grandeur of a world-class garden.
