Cigu Salt Mountain Park Introduction
Qigu Salt Field was once the largest salt evaporation field in Taiwan, primarily supplying salt for domestic agriculture and industry. However, with changing times, the economic viability of salt evaporation declined, and the salt field was closed in May 2002, marking the end of a 338-year history of salt production. Qigu Salt Mountain, originally the salt pile area of Qigu Salt Field, has formed naturally over the years into solid blocks, creating a spectacular white salt peak that rises about six stories high. Taiwan Salt Corporation then transformed its industry into tourism, officially beginning the recreational era of Qigu Salt Mountain, which serves as a testament to the development of Taiwan's salt industry. The Qigu Salt Mountain park features not only the impressive and photogenic salt mountain landscape but also a variety of recreational facilities and experiences. Visitors can enjoy a comfortable tour of the park on shuttle carts, rent barbecue areas for groups, experience the traditional "Dragon Bone Water Wheel" from the salt fields, and create souvenirs such as DIY salt jars and delicious salt tofu pudding. This destination is a must-visit for fun and educational experiences.
