Description of Our Community: Surrounded by the dominating Central Mountain and the vast Pacific Ocean, our lovely country, Hualien, a beautiful countryside, has infinite vitality. We can hear the familiar sound “Ka-ta ka-ta ”often, made by our best partner- the trains. Since we grew up in this land, we have been interested in this familiar place. In this project, we visit many communities and try to find out the memories of the history and local attractions of the trains. Doing this project make us understand the railroad clearer, and it also shortens the distance between our community and us.

Project Description: In this project, we decide to do research on “The Railroad between Hualien and Taitung (the Eastern Railway).” This railroad has brought Hualien many memories. Maybe we do not experience the exactly same things in this railroad, but we still closely connect to each other. For understanding these wonderful stories, we interview many people, including the passengers and the employees of the railway bureau. Then, we compare the results with our documents. Finally, we try to connect the introduction of each train station in the eastern railroad , such as the history, some true stories, some problems and local attractions. What's more, we observe and cooperate together to complete our meaningful and constructive project.
