Xiluo Grand Theater

The Xiluo Grand Theater was formerly known as Xiluo Theater or the Old Playhouse. Its exterior features Baroque-style architecture and it was located right next to the bustling Dong Market of that time. It flourished especially during the 1960s and 1970s, earning the reputation of being the “Xiluo Shinjuku.” Having witnessed the changes of eras, it offers a unique charm both inside and out.

Huwei Iron Bridge
 
The Huwei Sugar Factory Iron Bridge is a designated historic site in Yunlin County. In the past, to meet the needs of the sugar factory’s development, it evolved from a bamboo bridge to a wooden bridge, and then to the current iron bridge. The structure is made of three sections of steel truss girders at varying heights, along with ten large hollow arch bridge piers. The photos capture a striking hollowed-out effect with a powerful visual impact.
