Day 26 -- Taiwan Sugar Museum

Spent half of my day at the Taiwan Sugar Museum @ Ciaotou this afternoon! But I regretted leaving the dorm so late. There were so many things to see there! I'm sure to visit it again with the rest in the near future :)

Anyway, it was a good experience to be able to learn about something we consume almost every single day -- Sugar. It is always around us yet, so little about its production is known to us. Hence, I really feel that this trip was really an insightful one. Especially the exhibition that shows the different procedures involved in the production of sugar, and how the sugar industry in Taiwan started and transform for the past century.








They also have this mini maze where they used old machinery to make installation art pieces and place them in various spots in the maze. Not to mention the adorable descriptions they have for some of the pieces as well! Oh yes, and this exhibition on pigs! You can find all sorts of objects related to pigs; from piggy banks to dolls to ornaments! Some of them are so cute!!






In all, this is an interesting place, and I will definitely recommend you to go if you've time to spare from your itinerary, since it is quite out of place.
