Built in 1922, a rotating circular platform consisted of twelve radial tracks point outward, the roundhouse station in Chang-Hua is a historical monument in Chang-Hua county. It is the only roundhouse station fully preserved in Taiwan, a relic that belongs to the Japanese-ruling era.
In 1990, due the railroad upgrade from Taiwan Railroad Bureau, the roundhouse garage in Chang-Hua, the last of its kind, was scheduled to be razed. However, it was successfully preserved by enormous amount of efforts and series of petitions from the locals and railroad aficionados .

I love using the traditional film camera and really enjoy it. Photography for me is a passion, and a romantic point of view.
I document every moment in my life with my camera.
