The Soulangh Cultural Park (traditional Chinese: 蕭壠文化園區; simplified Chinese: 萧垅文化园区; pinyin: Xiāolǒng Wénhuà Yuánqū) is a multi-purpose park in Jiali District, Tainan, Taiwan.

History[edit]

The cultural park was originally built as Jiali Sugar Factory or Soulangh Sugar Refinery in 1906 during the Japanese rule of Taiwan.[1][2] The factory was closed down in 1995.[3] In 2003, the Soulangh Cultural Park Preparatory Office was established. The factory was then transformed into Soulangh Cultural Park and was opened in 2005. In 2013, it initiated the Soulangh Artist Village.[4][5]

Architecture[edit]

The cultural park also consists of 14 former warehouses of the factory.[4] It also has library, playroom and museum.[3]

Exhibitions[edit]

The cultural park displays exhibitions on Tainan folk art and Siraya people.[3]
