Yuebmei Tourist Sugar Factory Introduction
Yue Mei Sugar Factory was established in 1909 and is located on Jiahou Road in Houli District, Taichung City. Entering through the old steam locomotive, visitors can enjoy a nostalgic atmosphere and savor traditional ice treats, reminiscing about sweet childhood memories. The sugar factory currently adopts a diversified management approach, with the staff welfare association from the Japanese colonial period being a favorite among tourists. The tourist area opposite the staff welfare association features a fountain pool, a small white bridge, and walls adorned with murals depicting the scenic views of the old mountain line. Crossing the small bridge, there is a covered corridor displaying ancient farming tools and items used in traditional daily life, creating a feel of stepping into a time tunnel. On the other side is the exhibition and sales center, offering a complete range of Taiwan Sugar products. In addition to Taiwan Sugar ice products, Yue Mei Tourist Sugar Factory also provides guided explanations about the "Century-Old Tourist Sugar Factory." The factory is lush with trees, including a millennium-old Ficus tree, the only millennium-old ginkgo in the plains, and trails lined with century-old sweet osmanthus and century-old pine trees.
