Founded in 1965 by Mr. Huang Yao-tung. Leveraging Puli's pure water quality and excellent papermaking environment, Kuang Hsing Paper Mill initially focused on OEM production, gradually developing and improving handmade Xuan paper. Its high quality led to exports to Japan and South Korea in the 1980s, making it an important representative of Taiwanese handmade paper. Kuang Hsing Paper Mill not only inherits ancient papermaking techniques but also actively innovates, successfully using local agricultural waste from Puli, such as water bamboo husks and betel nut tree trunks, to create distinctive local handmade papers like "Xifu Xuan" and "Fengchun Xuan." This showcases the integration of environmental protection and cultural creativity, setting a model for the transformation of traditional industries. The park fully presents the traditional handmade papermaking process, including steaming, washing, pulping, sheet forming, pressing, and drying. Professional guided tours are available to allow visitors to deeply understand the process of making paper from fiber to finished product. Kuang Hsing Paper Mill also features a paper art DIY classroom, offering a variety of experiential activities such as handmade paper making, rubbing, paper fans, artistic photo frames, and paper gift boxes, allowing visitors to personally experience the joy and charm of handmade papermaking. Kuang Hsing Paper Mill has become an important cultural tourist attraction and educational base in Puli, attracting numerous visitors and school groups for visits and learning.
