What the source reported
Source-reported<p><img src="https://www.globalcement.com/images/news/tcc-heping-plant-1500.jpg" /></p><p><strong>Taiwan:</strong> Government-recognised tourism factories attracted 21.36 million visitors in 2025, generating US$211m in output. The programme was launched in 2003 to help revitalise existing manufacturing sites as industries moved overseas. As of the end of August 2026, Taiwan had 150 factories that had passed the government’s evaluation process.</p> <p>Taiwan Cement’s (TCC) open-ecology plant in Hualien attracted the most visitors in 2025. The site offers a glimpse into a 20-year-old industrial complex, bringing together a cement plant, power plant and industrial port. It offers guided tours and cement-making activities (by reservation only), and some areas are open to the public free of charge. Taiwan Cement operates the plant on a non-profit basis, with the fees from guided tours, stall rentals at the market, and a fixed percentage of monthly revenue from shops within the park contributing to the education fund of Heping Elementary School.</p>
