Indigo Dyeing DIY  Experience Activities  - Taiwan popular one-day tour in Taipei Sanxia

When promoting culture on our own land, the local cultures of Sanxia cannot be omitted.

During the last years of Qing Dynasty, Sa-kak-eng (Sanxia) was the most important center for the dyeing industry in northern Taiwan. It was also the main producing area of mayflower gloryberry, which is a source of the dyes used for indigo dyeing. Many archway facades of “dyehouses” from those days can still be seen on Sanxia Old Street. Although the indigo dyeing industry has undergone rise and fall, the industry that once disappeared is now recovered under the efforts of local culturati. We have also built a dyehouse at THE CAN for you to experience the indigo dyeing culture in Sanxia.


For group tours, we can plan for you exclusive indigo dyeing activities or one-day tour of Sanxia.
