Qigu Salt Mountain Park Introduction
Qigu Salt Field was once the largest salt evaporation pond in Taiwan, primarily supplying salt for domestic agricultural and industrial use. However, with the passage of time, salt production became economically unfeasible, and the Qigu Salt Field closed in May 2002, marking the end of 338 years of salt production glory. Qigu Salt Mountain was originally the salt storage area of the Qigu Salt Field, where salt naturally solidified after years of accumulation, forming a remarkably hard structure resembling a six-story tall salt mountain, which is a spectacular sight. Taiwan Salt Corporation subsequently transformed into industrial tourism, officially starting the recreational era of Qigu Salt Mountain, leaving a testament to the development history of Taiwan's salt industry in various ways. Within the Qigu Salt Mountain area, in addition to the spectacular and photogenic salt mountain view, there are abundant recreational facilities and experiences, such as a tour vehicle for comfortable park exploration, barbecue areas available for group rentals, traditional salt field facilities like the "dragging waterwheel" experience, and the must-do DIY salt jar and delicious DIY salted tofu pudding for visitors to create memorable keepsakes. It is a must-visit destination for education and entertainment.
