Dulan Sugar Factory 61 Introduction
"Dulan Sugar Factory 61" was originally the Dulan Lounge - "Dulan Sugar Factory Coffee House," a gathering place for local residents and artists in Dulan. Due to age, the main structure's beams and columns gradually deteriorated, causing the building to lean and the roof to sag, resulting in leaks. After the current owner, "Sister Jiang," took over, she actively renovated the at-risk structure while rethinking the new direction of the old building. After reopening at the end of 2014, they restored the skeletal structure from the Japanese colonial period, collaborated with local artists to assist with the design, and established a restaurant centered around the theme of "brown sugar." The menu offers Chinese dishes, drinks, snacks, and souvenirs. Visually and taste-wise, they aim to connect with the local sugar-making industry of the past, presenting a "traditional flavor" style. In summer, they will also launch a variety of ice treats related to brown sugar. Additionally, on lively weekend nights, they continue the artistic spirit of the former "Dulan Sugar Factory Coffee House" by inviting local music creators to perform outdoors, allowing everyone to experience the innovative atmosphere of the old house.
