I had few understanding about Changhua Roundhouse at first, but while doing this project, I knew it is the last in-service roundhouse in Southeast Asia and the locomotives stored in the roundhouse over one hundred years old. In the process of doing this project, we've learned a lot from some pros, like Mr. Ma, the president of Babuza Railway Culture and History Working office, Mr. Yang, the public relations manager, and Mr. Lai, a train inspector. The lesson from Mr. Ma was especially impressive that he instructed us how to present the history, the features and information of Changhua Roundhouse. In addition, Mr. Lai showed us the inner Roundhouse to give us a better understanding about it, and this made me a better skilled researcher.

Since I am a six-grader, this might be my first time and also the last chance to participate in Cyberfair project. While visiting Changhua Roundhouse with our team at the first time, I was really impressed of its beauty. After joining in this project, I made many friends, learned how to compose a website, had a better understanding of the past and structure of Changhua Roundhouse, and learned how to cooperate and communicate with others. Also, I learned how to solve problems efficiently. I really appreciated I have got the chance to join in this project.

By doing this project, I had a better understanding about the trains and Changhua Roundhouse. At the beginning, I had no ideas about the topic but I’ve learned more about the railway culture after a couple of interviews and visits. The most impressive activity was to interpret Changhua Roundhouse to the juniors that I made the interpretation draft first and practiced repeatedly and finally I made all pay full attention to my interpretation, which was really a great achievement to me.

Recommended by teachers, I became a member of Ping He 2013 Cyberfair project team. At the beginning, I was afraid of making mistakes but my teammates and teachers were all willing to help me get used to teamwork. I have learned much during the process, like the history and development of Changhua Roundhouse and how Babuza Railway Culture and History Working office worked to preserve it. Plus, I made many friends and got the chance to interview notables. We have done what we could and hope we could win a good prize!

The most impressive part of this project was to visit the inner Roundhouse where I saw the gantry crane; pillars exploded by bombs, coal to start the steam locomotives and sands for anti-slip the locomotives. Moreover, I won the third prize at the art competition held by Lions Clubs International and Expand & Develop Foundation of Culture and Education. The show “Trains in Dance” was really amazing ── I got to see trains dancing on the turntables. I have learned how to cooperate and communicate with my teammates and had a better understanding of Changhua Roundhouse by doing this project and I really hope that my partners and I can introduce the roundhouse to the worlds through this project!
