The once prosperous Qiaotou Sugar Factory

Location: No. 24, Tangchang Road, Qiaotou District, Kaohsiung City Introduction: Kaohsiung Sugar Factory, formerly known as "Qiaozaitou Sugar Factory", is the first modern mechanized sugar factory in Taiwan. It has a history of 122 years and is listed as a city-designated cultural landscape. Ancient relics such as the sugar factory, Japanese wooden houses, air-raid shelters, and red-brick water towers are well preserved. The social housing offices and clubs inherited from the Japanese colonial era are not only of historical significance, but also have a unique appearance. They are imitations of Dutch colonial buildings in Southeast Asia by the Japanese. In addition to the elevated foundations, the corridors and continuous arches are modeled after European architectural styles. Tickets: Free Opening hours: 9:00-16:30 My experience: Taiwan’s sugar industry was once prosperous, and at its peak, it was world-renowned. However, with the changing times, it has gradually declined. But we can still learn about this beautiful history through the sugar factory. And learn about the operation of the sugar factory at that time. Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #LocalTour #familytravel #TaiwanLocalTour #Kaohsiung #GoodFamilyDestination
