[2025 Kaohsiung Attraction] Travel Guide for Taiwan Sugar Museum (Updated Aug)

This time I brought some friends to Kaohsiung, and since they like unique places, they specially booked a table at Jizhao Guli to try it out. Yes, this dessert shop not only requires reservations, but also has time restrictions. Each person has 90 minutes to dine. Ordinary tourists can take the Kaohsiung MRT directly to Qiaotou Sugar Factory Station and then come to this restaurant to enjoy the food. This is a sugar factory dormitory converted from the Japanese colonial period into a restaurant. It still retains the antique flavor of the early days. There are tourists wearing kimonos drinking tea inside, which makes it look like they have really come to Japan. Jizhao’s hometown is really great for filming, and every corner is suitable for acting in Japanese dramas! We hurriedly ate desserts and drank matcha while taking photos, having a lot of fun. The matcha here is also delicious, and it is really comfortable with the desserts and the environment. After eating, you can go to the back to enjoy the pool. There are also many people taking pictures. If you are interested, you can come here to take a look! #TaiwanLocalTour #Kaohsiung

In Kaohsiung, the White House Art Village and Qiaotou Sugar Factory are one of my favorite spots for a short walk. The White House Art Village is hidden in the alleys of Rehe Street. The white old house has been converted into an art and cultural space, integrating the historical sense of the old building with modern creativity. The ingenious works of artists can be seen everywhere, making people walk and take pictures, and surprise again and again. The afternoon sun shines on the white walls, quiet and charming. Qiaotou Sugar Factory, not far from the city, retains a strong Japanese style and sugar industry culture. Walking along the old train tracks, the sound of birds and the breeze are particularly healing. There are nostalgic shops and ice cream stalls along the way. You may as well sit down and eat an old-fashioned stick ice cream and slowly feel the simplicity and charm of this place. These two places are pedestrian-friendly and have different styles. They are a good choice to slow down and experience local culture on weekends.

Qiaotou Sugar Factory #BougainvilleaGarden is right in the Iron Garden Mystery City of the park, and right in front of the Centennial Sugar Factory. There are signs along the way, and you can easily arrive by following the signs once you enter the park. The bougainvillea in the sugar factory is in full bloom, and the colors are super bright and beautiful. The biggest feature of the Bougainvillea Garden is that the flowers are not only brightly colored but also have a variety of colors. In addition, the flowers are in full bloom and hang down in the maze. Standing in front of the flower trees to take pictures, you can feel surrounded by bougainvillea, and it is like admiring a dreamy bougainvillea waterfall. 🕰️Opening hours: 09:00–16:30 📍Address: Qiaotou Sugar Factory, Qiaotou District, Kaohsiung City

When I walked into the Kaohsiung Qiaotou Sugar Factory, it was as if I had traveled back to the golden age of Taiwan's sugar industry a hundred years ago. 🌾 This was once the largest sugar factory in Taiwan. Now it has been transformed into a cultural park, preserving ancient sugar-making equipment, red brick warehouses and Japanese-style dormitories, each of which is full of traces of history. I rode my bike through the green park. The breeze blew, and there seemed to be a faint scent of sugar in the air. 🚲 Enter the exhibition hall to learn about the rise and fall of the sugar industry and feel the hard work and sweetness of this land. Finally, don’t forget to taste a cup of homemade ice cream from the sugar factory to put a perfect end to this journey. 🍦 #Qiaotou Sugar Factory #Kaohsiung Attractions #Sugar History #Cultural Park #Japanese Architecture #Bicycle Tour #Historical Exploration #Taiwan Sugar Industry #Sweet Memory #Check-in Attractions #Register for February Hotel Test Sleeper 2025

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

The railway maze at Qiaotou Sugar Factory is full of bougainvillea in different colors, very beautiful! You can rent a YouBike right outside the Qiaotou Sugar Factory MRT Station. It’s convenient and cheap, and much cheaper than the bicycles in the park! #Bougainvillea #Qiaotou Sugar Factory #Youbike #Kaohsiung #Sea of ​​Flowers

Kaohsiung Qiaotou Sugar Factory (Taiwan Sugar Museum) was founded in 1901. It is Taiwan's first modern mechanical sugar factory. Tickets to Qiaotou Sugar Factory are free, and there are many fun attractions. After Taiwan's restoration, it was renamed the Taiwan Sugar Corporation Kaohsiung Factory. It was Taiwan's first sugar-making factory with modern machinery. It has 19 historical sites, including Baroque-style tropical colonial-style buildings and a life-size bronze statue of Guanyin. It was one of the important bases for early sugar-making in Taiwan. The site is very large and contains rich natural ecology, such as damselflies, red-bellied squirrels, thin-winged dragonflies, eight-colored birds, five-colored birds, stag beetles, pale yellow butterflies, etc., which are all common here. In addition, there are many buildings in the factory area that are left over from the Japanese colonial era, such as: Japanese-style dormitories, garden landscapes, air-raid shelters, ammunition depots, red brick water towers and warehouses, etc. In addition, of course, you must eat ice cream when you come to the sugar factory. I had a longan rice cake flavored popsicle, which was very delicious. The Taicheng buns in the park are also very unique! #familytravel

Qiaotou Sugar Factory Station is a MRT station on the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line, located in Qiaotou District, Kaohsiung City, with the station number R22A. It is named after the Qiaotou Sugar Factory located nearby. There are also many cat-related designs in the first-floor lobby of Kaohsiung Sugar Factory MRT Station, such as billboards, stones, three-dimensional art, etc., and the Satsuma dynamic billboard. It can be said that it is a completely cat-themed station! This cat-themed MRT station originated from Mikan, a male cat born on April 4, 2020. He was originally a stray cat and was adopted by the staff of the Kaohsiung MRT Qiaotou Sugar Factory Station. Because he is orange and curled up like an orange, he was named "Mikan". In September 2020, he officially took office as the cat stationmaster of the Kaohsiung MRT Sugar Factory Station. He usually lives in the head office and returns to the station once a month to work. The cat stone in the MRT station is exactly the shape of a head, and the Mikan on it is painted vividly. The three-dimensional art uses the station pillars to create a three-dimensional effect. Standing at a certain angle to shoot can blend with the background, which is quite interesting. The cat wall painting uses the space next to the station stairs, so it looks good no matter how you shoot it! #familytravel

Selflessly share my favorite attractions I visited this time - Kaohsiung Qiaotou Sugar Factory It's nice to walk around and take a rest. It's comfortable with air conditioning in the hot summer. Among them, my favorite is "Jizhao Hometown Tea House (Qiaotou Factory Director's Dormitory)" The dim sum is delicious, exquisite, photogenic, and thoughtful (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵) As soon as you enter, you will feel the full Japanese atmosphere. There is also a light wood scent in the room. Walking in the wooden and tatami buildings has a unique flavor It's very quiet, as if you are really in Japan. We ordered the Sugar Golden Years Set Meal٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)و Royal Matcha and Shangsheng Fruit 🍵 (also give a beautiful amber candy) It comes with Japanese tea and the sweet raw fruit. It's quite subtle. I also ordered three-color dumplings 🍡 (the colors are cute, but unfortunately they don’t come with condensed milk and peanut powder) We also ordered Monaka (matcha red beans with small dumplings are good) I also ordered Hibiscus tea (it was quite strong and great) In addition, the raw fruits are really exquisite and beautiful. But I thought there would be a cherry blossom design. The store said it was a seasonal item They will have different styles according to the seasons (I can only look forward to the next time I come) The weather in the south is really too good, it's so hot~ The sky looks like a computer wallpaper 😂 #Dilly Snow #Zhen loves to eat #Kaohsiung food #Qiaotou
