Dulan Sugar Factory, east coast

When life gives you sugar, turn it into art!

As I continued my journey along Taiwan's east coast, I stumbled upon the Dulan Sugar Factory, a relic of the island's industrial past now transformed into a vibrant cultural hub. The factory's weathered facade, with its rusted corrugated metal and faded paint, stood as a testament to the passage of time. The tall chimney, once a symbol of industry, now loomed like a silent guardian over the site. In the foreground, an open structure with a curved roof housed an intriguing art installation, blending the old with the new in a way that only Taiwan can. The overcast sky added a touch of melancholy to the scene, casting a soft light that highlighted the textures and contrasts of the buildings. It was the kind of place that made you ponder the relentless march of progress and the beauty that can emerge from decay. The murals adorning the lower parts of the structures added a splash of color and creativity, a reminder that art can breathe new life into even the most forgotten corners of the world. As I wandered through the factory grounds, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and insignificance. Here, amidst the remnants of industry, I was reminded of the impermanence of human endeavors and the enduring power of creativity. And so, with a mix of curiosity and reverence, I continued my exploration of Taiwan's east coast, eager to uncover more of its hidden gems. Each step brought new discoveries and deeper reflections, making the hustle and bustle of city life seem like a distant memory.
