Dulan Low Carbon Camping Trip

Over the past two decades, Dulan has transformed from a seaside Amis village to the cultural treasure trove it is today. Many artists have relocated to Dulan with their love and passion for this land, the ocean, and the people. The result is a unique local artistic gathering. The Sintung Sugar Factory Cultural Park used to be a privately owned brown sugar factory. The factory was transformed into an artistic cultural park by a group of artists. They kept the original wooden dorms, factory, flag tower, and other unique structures. The venue can be used as an exhibition stage and has become a popular gathering location for art and culture lovers. There is a coffee shop, aboriginal cultural hall, and cool doodles and paintings all around the park. Enjoy a nice weekend here with a cup of coffee and a nice stroll through the creative marketplace. （Photo Credit：IG@h_enryyy）
