Beiliu Village Tobacco Barn Group (霧峰北柳里菸樓群) - Spectral Codex
霧峰北柳里菸樓群

A pair of tobacco barns enmeshed within the village of Beiliu on the outskirts of Wufeng. Their specific history is unknown but they are obviously part of Taichung’s history of tobacco cultivation and plausibly date back to the 1960s or 1970s.

This tobacco barn is visible from Side Road (四德路).

Peering into the old tobacco barn from a back window reveals one wall was shorn off to make room for a more modern building next door.
