Kaohsiung: Dashu Century-Old Kiln Factory - DIY Experience

Sanhe Tile Kiln is located in Dashu District, Kaohsiung. Registered in 1918 during the Japanese colonial period, it is now 104 years old. It is one of the few remaining kiln factories in Taiwan that still produces bricks and tiles using traditional methods. In 2001, it was honored by the Council for Cultural Affairs as one of the top 100 historical buildings in Taiwan. It also preserves and passes on the traditional brick-making and tile-firing techniques, providing brick and tile building materials needed for the restoration of Taiwanese historical sites and old houses. Furthermore, it uses bricks and tiles as materials to develop and design cultural and creative products and DIY hands-on experiences! The enduring traditional bricks and tiles are no longer just bricks and tiles, but are integrated into life, becoming one of the modern aesthetics of life.
