Ten Drum Rende Creative Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Located in the Rende District of Tainan, Taiwan,[1] Ten Drum Rende Creative Park was once a busy sugar mill but had been left disused for years. After being taken over by the local drumming troupe Ten Drum Art Percussion Group as a rehearsal space, this mill continues to live its history and allows visitors to peek into the thriving sugar industry during the Japanese Colonial Era.
After World War II, many sugar mills left by the Japanese became disused due to upgrading industries and soaring land prices.[2] They were either razed to the ground so the land could be sold to financial groups, or preserved and remodeled into a cultural hub such as Ten Drum Rende Creative Park.[3]
