Chiayi Travel: Suanto Sugar Factory

The Suanto Sugar Factory (蒜頭糖廠蔗埕文化園區) 

The Suanto Sugar Factory, also known as the Suantou Sugar Factory Cogeneration Cultural Park, was established in 1906 and was once the third-largest sugar factory in Taiwan during the Japanese Occupation era. However, in 2001, Typhoon Nari caused severe flooding in the factory area, leading to significant damage to the sugar-making equipment and ultimately the cessation of sugar production.

Today, the Suanto Sugar Factory offers a unique experience for visitors. You can take a ride on a special sugar factory train and admire the Japanese-style dormitories and Baroque-style buildings within the factory compound. Additionally, you can explore the Suanto Sugar Factory itself, which has been transformed into a cultural park. Although the machinery is no longer operational, the factory has curated a carefully planned tour route and displays quality objects such as sugarcane slabs and molasses. With the help of informative explanations, visitors can gain a clear understanding of the cane sugar manufacturing process. The park also features a small train that provides transportation for visitors.

Within the Suanto Sugar Cane Cultural Park, there is a railway cultural relics museum showcasing various related items. As you explore the park, you will come across a network of intersecting railways, where you can see different types of train heads and bodies, including a steam locomotive that was used in Japan for 30 years. This adds to the historical and nostalgic atmosphere of the park.
A visit to the Suanto Sugar Factory and its cultural park offers a glimpse into the rich history of the sugar industry in Taiwan and provides an opportunity to appreciate the preserved heritage and architectural beauty of the factory buildings.
