Now the tourism and leisure center of Hualien's central district, the sugar factory preserves rows of neat Japanese-style bungalows from the Japanese colonial era. Built during that period, it is over a century old. Its traditional and diverse architectural styles and elegant forms make it the largest surviving settlement of Japanese wooden structures in Taiwan. Of course, when you visit a sugar factory, you should also learn how the white sugar we see everywhere in our lives is made, and what the differences are between granulated sugar, rock sugar, brown sugar, and dark brown sugar. Although large-scale sugar production has ceased, Hualien Sugar Factory transformed into a tourist sugar factory in 2002, developing into a park with functions of tourism, leisure, education, culture, and experience. The future development of the factory area will be positioned as a 'Sugar Industry Cultural and Creative Leisure Park,' serving as a testament to history and becoming an important attraction for promoting tourism in Hualien.
