Nestled within Shiluo Sugar Factory is a sweet, nostalgic atmosphere interwoven with culture, leisure and gourmet experiences. Not only has the site preserved intact its former sugar manufacturing facilities, including massive chimneys, evaporators for sugar cooking filled with a distinct \"steampunk\" ambience, but also maintains vintage steam locomotive engines. The \"five-feet train\" on old tracks continues to travel in vibrant repainted uniforms carrying passengers. Ancient-style architecture now houses specialty shops selling delicacies like ice candy (zhi zai bing), trendy desserts, and ice cream. The expansive area offers forested groves, emerald lawns, and even large barbecue zones and ecological ponds, combining a rich diversity of attractions that make it a popular scenic spot in Changhua County. Once Taiwan's leading sugar refinery - indeed the largest sugar producer in Asia - Shiluo Sugar Factory enjoyed historic prosperity. After closing operations, this massive facility continues to showcase its century-old sugar industry splendor. Relevant government agencies even fought for designation as \"World Industrial Heritage,\" highlighting its grand scale and enduring charm.
