The Changhua Fan-Shaped Depot belongs to the Changhua Locomotive Depot. It was built in 1922 and is now open to the public for visiting. The depot building is centered around the shunting turntable and forms a semicircular arc-shaped depot with twelve tracks radiating. The depot building is centered around the shunting turntable and spreads at 99 degrees towards the depot direction, with a total of twelve tracks. Since steam locomotives can only move forward and unlike electric or diesel locomotives that have cabs at both the front and rear for two-way driving, steam locomotives need to turn on the turntable to turn the locomotive back to the front.
