Train Fest Extension
Nantou's "Train Galore Festival" has been quite a catch for the past years.
Now in its fourth year, in avoiding traffic jams that have caused chaos in its previous years of organizing the occasion and in refraining from public complaints, four stops have been allocated to disperse the crowd.
The young and old are delighted as the CK-124 steam engine draws into the station. It's the main attraction of this year's Nantou Tain Galore Festival. The festival is spread throughout the Mingjian, Shuili, Jiji, and Zhongliao areas.
Fans of "chasing train" activity can only choose two destinations, making the cartoon styled train exhibition a top choice.
People hoping to ride the steam engine can choose to go from Zhuanghua to Nantou, or take the green tunnel to longchuan station.
The Jiji train station has historical had to bear traffic congestions. Mr. Xu who came from Taoyuan to take part in the "chase train" activity said he didn't leave with a strong impression.
Many people have complained that themes aren't clear and uniform. However, the Nantou county government believes that allowing each area to come up with their own themes is more diverse and unique.
The funds for the Trains Galore festival exceeds 30 million. The organizers must figure out a way to attract tourists and continue this unique tradition.
