Although I wrote a LaTeX-like design for Taiwanese train station signs, the resemblance is still somewhat lacking.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xeCJK,amssymb}

\usepackage[
  paperwidth=5in,
  paperheight=3in,
  margin=0.2in
]{geometry}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{tikz}

\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node[anchor=north west, xshift=0in, yshift=0in] 
at (current page.north west) {
    \includegraphics[width=0.5in,height=0.5in]{960px-ROC_Taiwan_Railways_Administration_Logo.svg.png}
};
\end{tikzpicture}

\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node[align=center, text=black, yshift=0.25in] 
at (current page.center) {
    {\fontsize{28pt}{34pt}\selectfont Miaoli} \\[0.2em]
    {\fontsize{32pt}{38pt}\selectfont 苗栗}
};
\end{tikzpicture}

\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node[
    draw,
    line width=0.8pt,
    minimum size=0.9in,
    inner sep=0pt,
    align=center,
    font=\fontsize{12pt}{12pt}\selectfont
] at ([xshift=1.25in, yshift=0.25in]current page.center) {
    苗栗縣\\
    苗栗市
};
\end{tikzpicture}

\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node[anchor=south west, xshift=0.2in, yshift=0.2in] 
at (current page.south west) {
    {\Large 豐富 Fengfu}
};

\node[anchor=south east, xshift=-0.2in, yshift=0.2in] 
at (current page.south east) {
    {\Large 南勢 Nanshi}
};
\end{tikzpicture}

\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\draw[green!60!black, line width=1.2pt]
  ([yshift=0.65in]current page.south west)
  --
  ([yshift=0.65in]current page.south east);

\node[anchor=west, text=green!60!black] 
at ([yshift=0.78in]current page.south west) 
{\large $\blacktriangleleft$ 3.9 公里 (km)};

\node[anchor=east, text=green!60!black] 
at ([yshift=0.78in]current page.south east) 
{\large 6.6 公里 (km) $\blacktriangleright$};

\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

A better version should be:

  • You need to learn something tikz-basis.... I see no tooo difficulity with line width,rounded corners, draw=blue, fill=green actually.... Commented yesterday

It's quite relaxing when drawing with TikZ's node. There is only one \path ^^ XeLaTeX is required for Taiwan characters - traditional Chinese. Here is my overleaf link.

You can ask AI for more TikZ ways. Other fonts, like Lishu would be worth to try.
