Established in 1913, this sugar factory operated until 1992, when operations were transferred to the Shanhua Sugar Factory further west in Tainan. It was once home to an institutional Shinto shrine (構內社), likely known as Tamai-jinja (玉井神社) in the original Japanese, but its precise location and ultimate fate is unknown. In 2015 part of the old sugar factory was transformed into the Taipani Incident Memorial Park (噍吧哖事件紀念園區), but most of the factory grounds remain idle or under construction as of 2025.
Warning: this location is abandoned, hazardous, or otherwise neglected and may be unsafe and even dangerous! Exercise appropriate precautions when visiting.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
