Yamay Sugar Factory, Industrial heritage site in Houli District, Taiwan

Yamay Sugar Factory is an industrial heritage site in Houli with several preserved buildings and original equipment on display. The facility shows the complete sugar refining process from raw cane delivered to the factory through to the finished product.

The factory began operations in the early 20th century when sugar production was a major driving force of Taiwan's economy. It represents the industrial transformation that reshaped the region during that period.

The factory buildings show traditional Taiwanese industrial architecture that shaped how generations of workers lived and labored. Walking through the spaces reveals the daily rhythms and methods that kept the sugar industry running.

Visitors enter through the main gate where an information center explains the production methods and the site layout. The experience works best on mild weather days when you can comfortably walk through the outdoor sections.

The factory preserves the complete original equipment used in sugar processing, allowing visitors to follow the exact workflow step by step. This collection of surviving machinery offers a rare look at how these mechanical processes actually worked in practice.
