Xihu Township

Xihu Township is an agricultural administrative area in central Changhua County comprising 25 separate villages. The landscape combines farmland with residential areas spread across several districts.

The area developed as a sugar production hub during Japanese rule, with railroads built to move agricultural goods. This industrial phase shaped the region's economy for decades.

The 25 villages that make up the township host seasonal festivals and community gatherings where local traditions remain part of daily life. These events shape how residents connect with each other and their surroundings.

Regular bus service connects the township to nearby cities and towns in the county. The main station offers frequent departures throughout the day.

A former sugar factory here operates a tourist train powered by steam locomotive Engine No. 346. This engine is one of Taiwan's oldest unmodified steam locomotives still in use.
