Yilan Brick Kiln, Historic brick manufacturing site in Yilan City, Taiwan
The industrial complex includes multiple independent kilns connected by exhaust holes that flow into a central exhaust pipe system.
Established in 1938 as Chen He Cheng Kiln Factory, the facility operated until the 1980s, utilizing the local high viscosity clay for brick production.
The preservation of this manufacturing facility demonstrates the evolution of Taiwan's industrial development and traditional brick-making methods through the 20th century.
The facility stands within walking distance north of Yilan Station, featuring a 37-meter chimney that serves as a reference point for visitors.
Local community action prevented the demolition of the facility for residential development, leading to its current status as a protected historic site.
