History edit
The area was originally opened in 1916 as Chiayi Brewery by the Japanese government. In 1922, the brewery company went public. In the 1970s, local people began referring the brewery as Chiayi Old Distillery (traditional Chinese: 嘉義舊酒廠; simplified Chinese: 嘉义旧酒厂). It operated until 1999 when the Jiji earthquake destroyed the brewery chimney from 53 meters high to just 18 meters.[1] Soon later it was then converted into the Chiayi Cultural and Creative Industries Park and was opened in 2003.[2] On 11 January 2016, the park underwent three-year major renovation by the Ministry of Culture.[3]
Architecture edit
The park consists of 21 buildings.[3]
Transportation edit
The park is accessible within walking distance south west from Chiayi Station of Taiwan Railways.[4]
