Heisong Beverage Museum Introduction
Due to recent renovation work, reservations for visits are temporarily unavailable. When I was a child, I looked forward to drinking sour and sweet Oasis juice at weddings with my parents, paired with delicious dishes that left an unforgettable taste! Hey Song Sarsaparilla with salt – a home remedy for colds, its prickly and itchy texture made me feel better, even if my cold wasn’t fully cured, my mood certainly improved. What is your "Hey Song memory"? Take a trip to the Hey Song Beverage Museum’s time corridor and revisit those years when we all drank Hey Song together. The front corridor of the museum features a wall with light boxes displaying soda and soft drink bottles, a commemorative edition created exclusively for the 2004 Changhua Flower Expo that became a sensation. Entering the museum, the walkways are lined with exhibitions documenting the evolution of Hey Song from its beginnings in 1925 as "Jin Xin Commercial Association" to becoming a large beverage manufacturer. A long history, growing alongside Taiwanese society; the first bottle of marble soda was introduced and the glass bottle of Hey Song soda at banquets became a shared memory for many from the 50s and 60s. In the 1950s, when Taiwan's economy was just taking off, a trend of drinking soda and sarsaparilla emerged, with the museum showcasing annual advertisements, signs, and trademarks, not just the iron signs from grocery stores but also limited editions gifted by Hey Song to distributors and retailers.
