Guoye Cement Kiln, Lime kiln in Guoye Village, Taiwan
The Guoye Cement Kiln is a traditional industrial facility located near the fishing port seawall in a coastal village. The structure was built to process limestone and produce cement for regional construction and development projects.
This facility was established in 1960 as part of Taiwan's industrial modernization during the mid-twentieth century. It represents an important chapter in how cement manufacturing became essential to the island's rapid urban development.
The kiln structure demonstrates the integration of industrial processes within the fishing communities of Penghu County, reflecting local economic adaptations.
The kiln is accessible for viewing from designated areas near the harbor, though the site remains an active industrial space. Comfortable walking shoes and weather protection are recommended as the location is exposed to coastal conditions.
The facility operates using a rotary kiln system equipped with a carbon steel shell and specialized coal injection mechanisms for limestone processing. This technical setup demonstrates how the site blends traditional craftsmanship with industrial production methods.
