Ten Drum Culture Village
The Taiwan landscape is dotted with old, historically invaluable sugar-refinery complexes, built by the Japanese when they ruled as Taiwan’s colonial overlords 1895~1945, that after being abandoned for a time have been rescued and resuscitated - renovated and put to use as time machines for history aficionados while also serving as bases for artists, cultural-arts troupes, and cultural-creative enterprises. What is today named the Ten Drum Culture Village, built as the Rende Sugar Factory, is the largest, most intact, and both the most comprehensively and most innovatively renovated and re-missioned. It’s located in the south of Tainan’s urban center.
The celebrated Ten Drum Art Percussion Group is a performance and educational troupe that combines traditional drumming with modern theatrical elements. It has become an intrinsic part of Taiwan’s modern urban culture, and has performed around the globe. The troupe has three aims in managing the old 5ha Rende refinery complex: presentation of the troupe and its music, preservation of the history of Taiwan's sugar industry, and creation of an ecological attraction. The grounds are gracefully landscaped, bright with floral colors and busy with beauteous butterflies. The village is meant as a full-day attraction for entire families, with something for everyone, as we’ll see. Your ticket brings you free access to everything inside, save for your food, beverages, and retail purchases.
The menu of attractions is far too long to fully address here, so a highlights menu instead:
One large, airy old plant contains the percussion troupe’s state-of-the-art performance theater. Shows are presented daily.
A second large plant is divided into four floors. On the first is a high-ceiling bar, and on the second a pretty-as-a-picture bookstore stocking Chinese-language titles. The third level has a mini archery range (kid-oriented, with soft arrows) amidst the cacophony of pipes, machinery, and other clangy metal things. The fourth is lined with new-painted distillation vats; you can write wishes and blessings on small wooden tablets, Japanese style, place them on a long string, and they’ll eventually be “absorbed” into the vat. At this plant you can even get up outside on the roof’s catwalk, presenting rousing views.
Directly behind the second plant is a line of three monstrous multi-story-high distillation towers. Today, inside one is a swank café, inside another a tall many-turn tube slide, and in the last a small museum exploring the troupe’s history and the refinery’s history, with a focus on the Japanese families whose lives revolved around the complex.
Elsewhere, get up to fun things like going right inside the cleaned-up interior of the 67m-high smokestack, doing some free-falling and ziplining (zipline launch-point just below the catwalk on the second plant), and both learning about Ten Drum’s drums and drumming yourself, with a Ten Drum expert as your instructor.
