Gold-refining Building

During the Japanese Colonial Period in Taiwan, the Remains of the Gold Refinery used to be a lodge to accommodate non-local guests. After the restoration of Taiwan from the war with Japan, the Building was used by the Taiwan Metal Mining Company as a gold refinery. Not long afterwards, the refinery was moved to Shuinandong, and the building was used for other purposes. Later, this building was turned into a gold storage, according to the local elderly. It was then used to house the office of the Land Bank of Taiwan to provide services to miners. However, because of its unique style, the building was often used for refining gold. After a full investigation of its history, the building was eventually titled “the Remains of the Gold Refinery” by the Gold Ecological Park. (The introduction quoted from the Gold Ecological Park)
