This factory located in Feng Yuan City, Taichung County, made rivets and snap-fasteners before it was destroyed by the 921 earthquake. Although the owner wants to rebuild the factory on its original location, he is prohibited from doing so because fault lines are nearby. The owner hopes to swap his land for land owned by the government in the near future.Oct 25, 1999
