The Gongwei Xu Tunnel in Taoyuan is the only railway fortress-style tunnel in the country. With the addition of colorful neon lights inside the tunnel, it has become mysterious and dreamlike, turning into a new popular attraction in Taoyuan. New spots have also been added near the tunnel, giving visitors even more new photo-worthy landmarks.

The long-abandoned Gongwei Xu Tunnel was given new life in 2003, and now there's a new photo spot. The city government has set up a visitor service center in the tunnel scenic area, built with colorful container houses.

In addition to providing scenic introductions and guided tours, the container house also offers rest areas for tour bus drivers. In the future, a container house market will be planned around the area, selling specialty agricultural products, souvenirs, and cultural and creative goods.

The project also hired 3D painting experts to create a large 21-meter-long, nearly 5-meter-high 3D train emerging from the tunnel mural on the revetment at the north entrance of Gongwei Xu Tunnel, allowing visitors to take photos and check in.
