Huwei Township

Huwei Township is an urban administrative area in Yunlin County located in western Taiwan, comprised of multiple communities spread across the landscape. The place serves as a regional hub with connections to education, commerce, and regional transportation routes.

The area was home to Favorolang, one of the largest indigenous settlements in the region before Dutch colonial rule began in the 17th century. It later became a major center for sugar production, an industry that defined the region's economic character for generations.

The place earned its identity as a sugar production center, and this heritage remains woven into how locals see their community today. You can sense this connection when walking through areas where factories once shaped daily life and work.

The High Speed Rail station located here connects the area directly to other cities along Taiwan's western corridor. This makes it simple to move around locally or explore surrounding regions without difficulty.

The old sugar factory building stands today as a reminder of when the place was known as the Sugar Capital and dominated regional production. The structure tells the story of how deeply one industry shaped the community's identity and growth.
