Its miraculous rebirth incorporates the Ten Drum Band's innovative Taiwanese drumming music to give you Asia’s first drumming themed international art village. At night, Ten Drum Culture Village becomes a dream-like floodlit sugar factory.

Holocaust museums were set up all over the world after the war to comfort the Jews and remind people of the concept of world peace, Che Chu Chien Church has one such museum.
