Essays on life｜The imaginative "sugar and iron" + the same origin of water and fire

"Sugar Iron", I imagined the name to be the train version of "Candy House". It seems that it should be a railway with sweet candies at the starting point, destination, and along the way... In fact, the abbreviation of Taiwan Sugar Railway is the 20th century railway. An industrial railway originally built to transport sugar cane.

Since I was a child, I have loved to go to the sugar factory to eat ice with my family, but I was late to take the children to take the "five-minute car" of the Wushulin Sugar Factory. The slow-speed train also has the abbreviation of "sugar iron", and it is also called "five-minute train" because the gauge is only about half of the international standard railroad track of 1435mm (Taiwan Railway is seven-minute train, high-speed rail and MRT are the same as the international standard. same).

In the hot summer, it was still quite hot to take the super slow train at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Looking at the boundless greenery under the bright sun during the drive, from the standing sign with the name of the plant to the overgrown weeds returning to nature, the transpiring scenery is dazzling, and there are many flame trees with silver wings flying in the air when the wind blows. Seeds, as if the train is about to sail to a foreign country where the grass is full of smoke and the catkins are flying...

With the change of economic pattern, local sugar factories that once supported Taiwan's agriculture have been transformed into railway parks and cultural story halls. This visit to Wushulin Station on the back wall of Tainan is no exception. There are railway story halls and earthquake experience in the park. You can also book some outdoor teaching or DIY activities. Although it is not a wonderful and exciting type, it is still a good outing spot to come here with your family and elders to stroll around and eat some affordable ice products.

After a quick stroll around Guanziling, water and fire have the same origin. The boy is not interested in the natural principles caused by natural gas, etc. Fortunately, relying on the "Fire Unicorn" painted on the rock wall next to him, he adds vinegar and allusions to the sky, but he can hear it. I was stunned for a while, and asked to tell the story of the naughty unicorn spitting fire again.

Tangtie and Guanziling are not lively and rich attractions. Hanging around with your dear family can still bring a good mood~ It is a pity that although the two places are too hot to pay for the young master to eat ice, but in fact I very much hope that more distinctive products can appear. Watching these once glorious local attractions gradually decline, it is also a little reluctant to give up. I hope it is only because of the epidemic and the heat - looking forward to the prosperity of the future.
