Qiaotou Sugar Refinery

#Kaohsiung Cherry Blossoms

The Qiaotou Sugar Factory is a century-old industrial site from the Japanese colonial period. It is located in Qiaotou District, Kaohsiung City and has now been transformed into a tourist and cultural park. The park retains the old sugar factory buildings, machinery and equipment, and railway systems, and has added cultural and creative stores, cafes, and exhibition spaces, combining historical and modern aesthetics. The "Five-Minute Car" train in the sugar factory is a popular activity. Visitors can take a nostalgic train, travel through the old factory area and green trails, and experience the feeling of going back in time. The sugar factory is surrounded by old trees and vintage buildings, making it a great place for photography and walking. The park also often hosts markets and exhibitions, making it a great choice for a weekend outing. Coming here, you can not only learn about the history of Taiwan's sugar industry development, but also feel the living atmosphere of the old times.
