Spring Onion Culture Museum, Agricultural museum in Sanxing, Taiwan
The Spring Onion Culture Museum is an agricultural museum in Sanxing that focuses on cultivation methods, harvesting techniques, and the practical aspects of growing this crop in the Yilan region. The displays cover the tools farmers use, planting processes, and information about the varieties grown locally.
The building housing the museum was originally constructed as a rice storage facility during Japan's period of rule in Taiwan. It was later repurposed and opened as a museum in 2005.
Spring onions hold an important place in local cooking traditions, appearing in countless regional dishes and becoming part of Yilan's food identity. You can see how this crop shapes what people eat and how it connects to their way of life.
The museum offers hands-on activities where visitors can participate in harvesting or learn cooking techniques through workshops. A shop on site sells local products and crafts related to the crop and the region.
The museum operates food trucks serving spring onion dishes, including experimental creations such as spring onion ice cream. This unusual frozen treat shows how creatively the region approaches this everyday ingredient.
