Qiongma Industrial History Exhibition Area Introduction
Leaving the Waiao Fishing Port and heading towards Longluan Pond, turning right towards the southern bank of Longluan Pond, you will see the entrance sign for the Qionghua Industrial Exhibition Area. The Kenting National Park Administration has preserved the machinery room, drying yard, warehouse, dormitory, and the Japanese shrine - Torii from the Qionghua Factory to create an exhibition area, where visitors can fully understand Qionghua, the manufacturing process, and the rise and fall of the Qionghua history in Hengchun. The "Hengchun Hemp Factory" was established by Taiwan Fiber Company in 1913 and served as an important base for promoting Qionghua cultivation and rope manufacturing. After the retrocession, the successful export of hemp ropes to Japan marked the golden age of the Qionghua industry. However, in the 1970s, the rise of nylon ropes replaced Qionghua’s position, and the Hengchun Hemp Factory closed in 1983. In 1995, the Kenting National Park Administration utilized the remaining equipment from the site to plan it as a historical exhibition area for Qionghua industry, showcasing the development history of Qionghua in Hengchun, which is open to visitors for free.
