The place
Chinese aphorism holds that 'the three major requirements to accomplish anything are good timing, favorable place and the support of people.' Taichung County really had the three requirements for the timber industry and Lacquerware industry. In the Japanese period, there were two major forest cutting areas in Taichung County, Pa-hsien Mountain and Ta-hsueh Mountain. Fengyuan was the collection and distribution center of timber. |
Because the main substrate of Lacquerware was timber, Fengyuan also became the centre of Lacquerware industry in Taiwan. In the golden age of Lacquerware in Taiwan, there were more than forty factories in the Fengyuan area and the employees numbered about three thousand. The old pictures showed the prosperity at that time. However, all the facilities were not preserved. The steam train route could become a famous tourist site as Puffy Billy in Australia. |
