壯遊體驗學習網

With globalization and international exchanges becoming increasingly frequent, youth travel has become an important means of promoting cultural exchange among countries. For Taiwan, encouraging international young people to visit and explore the country through immersive travel experiences not only fosters mutual understanding and cross-cultural interaction but also helps enhance Taiwan’s international image.

This program explores Taiwan’s sugar industry heritage through visits to former sugar factories that have been adaptively reused. Participants will learn about the industrial-scale sugar manufacturing process during the Japanese colonial period before the end of World War II, discover the history and cultural significance of Taiwan’s sugar industry, and gain insight into the Taiwan Sugar Corporation’s current business diversification.

Through conversations with local elders, participants will also learn about efforts in Tainan to preserve industrial heritage associated with the sugar industry and safeguard the local community’s collective cultural memory.
隨著全球化的發展與國際交流日益頻繁，青年旅遊已成為世界各國文化交流的重要管道之一。對臺灣而言，吸引來臺國際青年參與壯遊，感受在地文化及特色，不僅能增進國際間的理解與互動，亦有助於提升臺灣的國際形象。

(1)Soulangh Cultural Park

Soulangh Cultural Park was formerly known as Soulangh Sugar Factory. Established in 1905, the factory began sugar production in 1908. It was the first modern sugar factory established in Taiwan by Meiji Sugar Manufacturing Co., Ltd. during the Japanese colonial period. It was later renamed Jiali Sugar Factory and closed in 1998 due to the decline of the sugar industry. In 2005, the historic factory buildings were revitalized and given a new lease on life as a cultural and arts center.

The name “Soulangh” originates from the name of the Siraya Indigenous community, “Soulangh She.” When visiting Soulangh Cultural Park, you can explore the Siraya Pingpu Cultural Museum to discover the distinctive spiritual beliefs, religious traditions, and lifestyles of the Siraya people.

You can also visit the Tainan Folk Performing Arts Museum to learn about Tainan’s unique traditional folk performance troupes and the beauty of its temple culture. Through displays of the costumes and ritual implements of the Ba Jia Jiang (Eight Generals), as well as an immersive 360-degree panoramic video experience, you can step into the fascinating world of Tainan’s traditional folk performances and experience this vibrant cultural heritage firsthand.

(2)Tsung-Yeh Arts and Cultural Center

Located in Madou, Tainan, the Tsung-Yeh Arts and Cultural Center was originally the Tsung-Yeh Factory and headquarters of Meiji Sugar Manufacturing Co., Ltd. of Japan. It began operations in January 1912.

After the end of World War II, the sugar factory was taken over by the Taiwan Provincial Administrative Executive Office. Following several reorganizations and mergers, the factory eventually closed in 1993.

In 1998, when demolition work on the factory buildings began, local historians and residents of Madou realized that the site, which had been closely connected to the daily lives of generations of local people, was about to lose an important part of its collective memory. They therefore actively appealed to the government to preserve the historic site.

On November 19, 1999, the Tainan County Government officially designated several historic structures and features as county-level historic sites. These included the Red Brick Office Building, the factory manager’s residence, the guesthouse, the red-brick employees’ dining hall, the Japanese-style garden, and a group of century-old camphor trees. Other historic relics, including an old locomotive once used to transport sugarcane and traditional sugar-milling stones, were also preserved.

As the concepts of historic preservation and revitalization, as well as the adaptive reuse of underutilized spaces, gained increasing public attention in Taiwan, the government actively promoted its Community Empowerment Policy. Against this backdrop, the former sugar factory was transformed into the Nan-Ying Tsung-Yeh Arts and Cultural Center, which officially opened under this name on November 4, 2001.

(3)Shanhua Sugar Factory

Shanhua Sugar Factory was established in 1904 by Tainan Sugar Manufacturing Company, a Taiwanese-owned enterprise. At the time, its daily sugarcane crushing capacity was only 180 metric tons. In 1909, the factory was acquired by the Japanese-owned Taiwan Sugar Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Since Shanhua was then known as Wanli Street, the factory was renamed the Wanli Sugar Manufacturing Plant.

In 1928, a second production facility was built, increasing the factory’s daily sugarcane crushing capacity to 1,000 metric tons.

After World War II, the Nationalist government took over the Japanese-owned sugar industry. In May 1946, the Taiwan Sugar Corporation (TSC) was established, and the factory was renamed the Wanli Plant of the Second District Branch of the Taiwan Sugar Corporation. In 1950, the district branch system was abolished, and the factory was placed under the Zongye Sugar Factory Headquarters.

Beginning in 1960, as part of TSC’s ten-year modernization plan, the factory gradually increased its daily sugarcane crushing capacity to 3,400 metric tons. In July 1961, it was officially renamed Shanhua Sugar Factory. In 1967, it came under the Majiia Sugar Factory Headquarters. Following the dissolution of the Majiia headquarters in 1974, the factory was transferred to the Xinying Sugar Factory Headquarters. In 1985, it came directly under the management of the Taiwan Sugar Corporation.

In November 1990, Shanhua Sugar Factory incorporated the Yongkang and Madou sugar factories. In November 1992, it incorporated the Yujing Sugar Factory, followed by the Jiali Sugar Factory in June 1998. In July 2003, the Rende and Xinying sugar factories were merged into its operations.

Today, Shanhua Sugar Factory produces No. 2 granulated sugar and is managed by the Sugar Business Division of the Taiwan Sugar Corporation. It shares its factory office facilities with TSC’s Tainan District Office.

(1)蕭壟文化園區(Soulangh Cultural Park)

蕭壠文化園區前身為蕭壠糖廠，1905年成立，1908年開始製糖，是日治時期由「明治製糖株式會社」在台灣設立的第一座新式糖廠，爾後改名為佳里糖廠，1998年因糖業沒落關閉，為了活化充歷史建築，在2005年讓糖廠以藝文基地的面貌再臨。
蕭壠是源自西拉雅族「蕭壠社」的社名，因此來到蕭壟文化園區，你可以走訪西拉雅平埔文化館，深入西拉雅族特有的信仰文化、了解他們的生活型態，你也能走進臺南藝陣館，認識臺南特有的陣頭文化與廟宇之美，透過展示八家將的服飾、法器與360環景影像專區等，身入其境臺南的陣頭世界。

(2)總爺藝文中心(Tsung-Yeh Arts and Cultural Center)

位於臺南麻豆的「總爺藝文中心」原為日本明治製糖株式會社的「總爺工廠」及「本社」，於1912年1月開始營運。二次大戰結束，糖廠由臺灣行政長官公署接收，歷經多次改組、合併經營，最後於1993年關閉。1998年進行拆除廠房工程時，麻豆鎮文史工作者與當地居民意識到這個與曾與麻豆人生活息息相關的生活記憶即將被清除，便積極向政府提出保留的訴求。1999年11月19日，臺南縣政府正式公告總爺紅樓辦公室、廠長宿舍、招待所、紅磚員工餐廳、日式庭園，以及百年樟樹群為縣定古蹟。昔日載運甘蔗的老火車頭、糖廍榨石也被保存下來。隨著「古蹟活化再生」、「閒置空間再利用」的觀念逐漸受到國人重視，政府也積極推動「社區總體營造政策」，這個舊糖廠因而被改設為「南瀛總爺藝文中心」，於2001年11月4日正式掛牌營運。

(3)善化糖廠(Shanhua Sugar Factory)

善化糖廠於1904年由臺灣人資本「臺南製糖」創辦，當時日壓榨量僅180公噸，1909年被日資「台灣製糖株式會社」併購，因善化舊地名「灣裡街」而名為灣裡製糖所。1928年擴建第二工場，日壓榨量提升為1000公噸。戰後由國民政府接收日資糖業於1946年5月成立台灣糖業公司，改稱為台灣糖業公司第二區分公司灣裡廠，1950年撤銷分公司制成立總廠，隸屬總爺總廠。1960年起配合台糖公司十年更新計畫，逐漸提高壓榨量至每日3400公噸。1961年7月更名稱為善化糖廠，1967年隸屬麻佳總廠，1974年麻佳總廠組織撤銷，奉令改隸新營總廠。1985年直屬公司。1990年11月兼併永康、麻豆兩糖廠，1992年11月兼併玉井糖廠，1998年6月兼併佳里糖廠，2003年7月合併仁德、新營兩廠。目前生產二砂糖，屬於砂糖事業部管理，和台南區處共同使用廠區辦公室。
