Taitung Sugar Factory Introduction
Taitung Sugar Factory has a history of over a century since its establishment. 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 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, making Taitung Sugar Factory a multifunctional cultural and artistic space that showcases local culture while preserving traditional crafts. On weekends, visitors can take a stroll through the Taitung Sugar Factory, take photos against the backdrop of the old steam locomotive and landscape art, and then enter the arts and culture space to experience Taitung’s local artistic style through exhibitions. If you want 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 wood carvings to textile bags. If you feel tired from browsing, you can sit down and relax by the spacious rice fields while enjoying a cup of fragrant coffee; this is how a wonderful afternoon should be spent.
