During this activity, participants will be guided into Beitouyang Village in Jiali, where the cultural journey of the Pingpu begins. 2. Sugar Industry Cultural Experience Taiwan’s sugar industry began during the Dutch East India Company’s rule and later became the backbone of Taiwan’s economy under the Qing Dynasty. During the Japanese colonial period, the industrialization of sugar production marked a turning point in Taiwan’s path toward modernization. As a result, the sugar industry became a powerful symbol of colonial modernization and capitalist development, leaving a lasting impact on communities across the island. In Tainan, sugar production dates back to the Dutch era and flourished during the Qing period, shaping both the economy and cultural landscape of Taiwan. Today, the Soulang Cultural Park (formerly the Jiali Sugar Factory) and the Tsung-Yeh Arts and Cultural Center are key landmarks representing this heritage. Visitors can still see the original narrow-gauge railway tracks once used by the sugar trains and even experience the fun of traditional sugar-making in a peaceful, nostalgic setting. The Yanping Community also has a long-standing sugar-making history dating back over 200 years. The community once produced sugar in traditional “sugar huts,” a nearly lost craft that has now been revived and shared with the public to preserve this cultural legacy. During this activity, participants will: *Learn about the cultural and historical significance of Taiwan’s sugar industry. *Enjoy fun, game-based learning activities that bring history to life. *Visit Yanping Community to experience handmade brown sugar production and discover the deep connection between the local community and the sugar industry. 3. Dive into the Culture of the Salt Industry This itinerary centers around the theme of salt, taking you along Taiwan’s coastal salt-making heritage. Along the way, you’ll visit the oldest surviving tile-paved salt field ruins and explore the former Qigu Salt Fields, once the largest in Taiwan. Through these sites, you’ll uncover the rise and fall of the salt industry, its transformation over time, and how the government has worked to revive this once-thriving tradition by turning former salt fields into vibrant eco-tourism destinations. These restored areas now showcase a unique blend of offshore sandbars, lagoons, and coastal wetlands, offering both cultural insight and natural beauty. Among the highlights: Jingzijiao Salt Fields, the first salt fields established in Beimen and the oldest existing tile-paved salt field ruins in Taiwan. Qigu Salt Mountain, a famous landmark of Tainan’s Qigu District, originally used to store salt from the Qigu Salt Fields. Over time, the piled salt hardened naturally into solid blocks, creating the iconic “salt mountain” seen today. During the activity, participants will: *Learn about the history and transformation of Taiwan’s salt industry. *Explore the Jingzijiao Salt Field ruins and Qigu Salt Fields. *Experience firsthand the traditional salt-making process under the sun.
