On Wednesday, December 27th, the whole class, fifth grade homeroom 10th, went to visit County designate of Changhua –Roundhouse. We set out from our school and walked to the train station. We took the train to Changhua and then arrived at the Roundhouse by foot.

On the way to the Roundhouse, we walked past a footbridge and got the back side of the station and saw a train themed restaurant named Machi Paradise. The train outside of the restaurant is elaborately decorated and so we halted to take photos before we started to progress again.

When we arrived at the Roundhouse, we saw many trains, including DT668 Stream Train, CK124 Steam Train, some robots and so on. Right on cue, a train was about to pull out of the station! We were so excited that many of us took photos with our mobile phones. The teachers also took the opportunity to narrate the history and explain its function and the function of the shunting turntable to us. Afterwards, we had some time taking photos with our group members and then the teachers took pictures for us.

Today, we witnessed how Roundhouse functioned and learned a lot from the field trip.
