Qigu Salt Mountain Park Introduction
Qigu Salt Field was once Taiwan's largest salt evaporation field, primarily supplying salt for the agriculture and industry sectors. However, with the passage of time, salt evaporation became economically unviable, and the Qigu Salt Field ceased operations in May 2002, marking the end of 338 years of a glorious salt production history. Qigu Salt Mountain was originally the salt stacking area of the Qigu Salt Field and, after years of exposure, has naturally formed solid salt blocks. The towering salt peaks, approximately six stories high, create a magnificent spectacle. Subsequently, Taiwan Salt Corporation transformed into an industrial tourism venture, officially beginning the recreational era of Qigu Salt Mountain, leaving a testament to the development of Taiwan's salt industry in different ways. Within the Qigu Salt Mountain park, besides the spectacular and photogenic salt mountain scenery, there are rich recreational facilities and experiences, such as comfortable park tours via tram, group rental barbecue areas, the traditional "dragon bone waterwheel" experience from the salt fields, and the must-do DIY activities for visitors, like making commemorative salt jars and delicious DIY salted tofu pudding. This is an educational and entertaining must-visit destination.
