Historical Introduction
After the restoration, the urban planning continued to use the concept of mixed land use from the Japanese period, and the surrounding area was designated as an industrial zone. Soon after the sugar factory was taken over by the Taiwan Sugar Corporation, it ceased sugar production and was converted to storage use. However, related industries centered on the remaining production capacity of the sugar industry, such as chemical, chemical processing, food processing, and papermaking small and medium-sized factories, remained prevalent. In the 1940s, the predecessor of the China Times, "Zhengxin News," took over the Taiwan Sugar Corporation's warehouse to start publishing, attracting the gathering of the surrounding printing industry.

From the 1960s and 1970s, the convenience of railway transportation attracted the gathering of clothing wholesale merchants. In the development history of Taipei, the area around Dali Street has always played a production role. Until recently, changes in the industrial environment and the eastward shift of urban development gradually led to the decline of the previously prosperous "Hui She Wei" residential area and industrial landscape. The actual environmental quality has gradually declined due to the concentration of population and the dense construction of buildings, and public facilities could no longer serve the residents' living functions, gradually becoming the periphery of urban development.



From the community residents' resistance against the establishment of a sanatorium, to the demand for neighborhood parks, and the preservation of the northernmost sugar manufacturing relic in Taiwan, the Taipei Sugar Factory building, the original structure of the historic building is made of red bricks, with its characteristics including arch doors, trapezoidal columns, and large span structures. On September 23, 1992, it was announced as the 106th city-designated historic site.

Vision and Future
The three city-designated historic sites, sugar warehouses A, B, and C, are located in Dali Street, Wanhua District. The area includes the C1 block (Gong'er Park) and the C2 block, covering an area of approximately 1.092 hectares. The C1 area, in addition to the historic buildings, currently serves as a park and underground parking lot. After years of effort, the historic sugar warehouses were preserved and the park land was obtained without charge. The bureau continues to apply for central government funding for expanded domestic demand repair. The repair of the three sugar warehouses historic sites will initially be realized through the deployment of an excellent team by Yuyang, revitalizing the historic site space, and creating a new cultural tourism highlight in Wanhua. On February 20, 2009, a community briefing meeting was held, and Minghua Garden received support from local residents, hoping that the group would give the Sugar Mill Cultural Park a new look, allowing the old tradition to brew new vitality. The Sugar Mill Cultural Park is positioned as a training ground for traditional opera talents and post-production manpower for the transmission of arts, enhancing the various cultural appearances and characteristics of the old Taipei, Wanhua.

Reutilization Planning of Sugar Warehouses Historic Sites
The A warehouse is planned as "Sugar Warehouse Opens" sugar industry cultural special exhibition, highlighting the significance of the preservation of the sugar warehouse. It introduces the historical stories of the Taipei Sugar Factory and the development trajectory of the western city industry, as well as sugar art classrooms, which are open for use as cultural and diverse community cultural activity spaces. The Cultural Bureau manages it directly, (adopting the citizen co-governance management model of the Beitou Hot Spring Museum, forming an A warehouse volunteer management committee) and is open for free visit.
