Sin Hong Choon, Heritage tea house and mansion in Datong District, Taiwan.
Sin Hong Choon is a three-story mansion with a tea factory and commercial spaces in Datong District. The building blends Taiwanese and Western architectural styles, with lower levels used for tea processing and sales while upper areas served as living quarters.
The house was built in 1934 when the Wang family migrated from Fujian, China, and established a tea trading business. This period marked Taiwan's height in tea exports, when the island was a major player in the global tea trade.
The building shows how the Wang family organized tea processing and trade as a central part of their daily life. The rooms reveal the importance this family gave to the tea business in their community.
The house is accessible on foot and located in a residential area of the city center. It is helpful to check opening times in advance, as visiting hours may vary depending on the season.
The building contains a rare ceramic piece from 1934 that represents the finest craftsmanship achieved during Taiwan's tea trading peak. This artifact is a genuine testament to the skill and artistry that made this family business well-known in the region.
