Taitung Sugar Factory Introduction
Established for over a century, Taitung Sugar Factory has a rich history. In 2004, it was registered as a historical building by the Taitung County Government and transformed into the Taitung Sugar Factory Cultural and Creative Park. The park preserves the remnants of the old railway and train equipment, while the original buildings have been renovated to include a museum, an outdoor stage, public art installations, and more. Local artists and dining establishments have also been invited to set up shop, creating a multifunctional space that showcases local culture while preserving traditional craftsmanship. Visiting the Taitung Sugar Factory on weekends allows you to take photos with the old locomotive and landscape art as backdrops, and then step into the art space to explore exhibitions reflecting Taitung's local artistic style. If you'd like to take a piece of Taitung's charm home, you can visit the creative store to purchase carefully crafted works by local artists, ranging from wooden sculptures to textile bags. If you feel tired from wandering, you can sit and relax by the expansive rice fields, enjoying a fragrant cup of coffee—this is how a beautiful afternoon should be spent.
