Dahu Tomato Company Introduction
Located beside Provincial Highway 1 in Dahu Village, the Dahu Tomato Company was built during the Japanese colonial period. It was a joint venture between Taiwan and Japan that produced tomatoes exclusively for export. After World War II, it was briefly converted into a pineapple canning factory, but later fell into disuse and became abandoned. In the deserted factory area, there is a one-hundred-year-old Royal Poinciana tree, which blooms with vibrant red flowers each year. Although it stands silently, it complements the mottled old chimney, with the brilliant red flowers contrasting against the gray brick walls, creating a unique sense of elegant solitude. This picturesque scene often attracts travelers to stop, admire, and take photos, making it one of Dahu's hidden gems for cultural light travel.
