Hualien Sugar Factory, Industrial heritage site in Guangfu Township, Taiwan

The Hualien Sugar Factory spans a wide complex featuring preserved buildings and machinery that showcase the traditional methods of sugar production in Taiwan.

Founded in 1913 during Japanese rule as the Hualien Manufacturing Plant Dahe Factory, the site experienced severe damage from World War II bombings before reopening in 1948.

The factory museum displays numerous artifacts, photographs, and equipment that illustrate the evolution of sugar manufacturing techniques throughout different periods of Taiwan's history.

Visitors can stay in Japanese-style wooden dormitories, enjoy meals at two restaurants, and participate in guided tours explaining the sugar production process.

The factory reached a processing capacity of 2,600 tons of sugarcane per day during its operational peak, contributing significantly to Taiwan's agricultural development.
