Hualien Sugar Factory, originally a Japanese-established sugar manufacturing plant, has been transformed into a cultural and creative park for visitors to explore and enjoy. The factory now houses a museum, creative workshops, and a shopping street. The museum displays the process of sugarcane manufacturing, while the creative workshops, formerly the single dormitories of the sugar factory, have been renovated into spaces for art exchange and teaching courses. The shopping street offers a variety of handicrafts and clothing.
The ice cream department in Hualien Sugar Factory is popular for its various flavors, and the lemongrass essential oil and soap gift boxes are favorite souvenirs for tourists. If time permits, one can choose to stay in the Japanese-style architecture next to the factory, experiencing the joy of barrel bathing and feeling the tranquil beauty of Japanese culture.
