The Tongluo area of Miaoli was once densely planted with camphor trees, with hundreds of camphor factories in the early years. Today, Tung Hwa Camphor Factory is the only remaining camphor refining plant in Taiwan. The camphor factory was founded in 1937 and has been in operation for over seventy years. It is currently managed by the third generation of owners. The factory still preserves the camphor dealer license made of cypress wood, issued by the Governor-General's Office of Taiwan during that period, which can be considered the treasure of the factory. Even before entering the door, you can smell the rich camphor aroma. The products in the store are very diverse. Originally, Tung Hwa only produced essential oil products such as camphor oil and citronella oil. After the third-generation owner took over, he devoted himself to developing new products, even attending the cosmetic research class at Providence University. He creatively developed 200 kinds of products, including handmade soaps, shampoos, and shower gels, all available. The small shop is filled with a dazzling array of products. In recent years, the old camphor factory has combined new creativity, not only providing guided tours for visitors on camphor production but also allowing children to experience DIY soap making, leaving visitors with intellectual and wonderful memories.
