Miaoli Tongluo: Discovering Traditional Flavors at the Dabunei Ramune Soda Tourist Factory

Address: No. 11, Minsheng Road, Tongluo Township, Miaoli County, 366 Taiwan Atmosphere/Facilities: Tourist factory, no air conditioning, parent-child interaction area, experience zone Features: Ramune soda making experience Average Price: 250 TWD Rating: The term 'Ramune soda' might have faded from many people's lives and memories. In times of scarcity, it was considered a trendy summer refreshment. After drinking, the bottle could be used to play marbles. It was akin to today's Kinder Surprise or McDonald's Happy Meal for children, with the difference being that the toy inside was visible to the naked eye. Nowadays, you can only see and experience it in the remaining tourist factories; it's rarely found in regular sales channels. The tourist factory charges 250 TWD per person, regardless of age. The visit starts with a lesson on the history of Ramune soda, followed by a simple magic show and a self-service making experience. After drinking, you can make another one yourself. In summary, it's a one-time experience for children who haven't encountered it before. The activity area within the factory is limited, and many parts are poorly maintained. The indoor area is quite stuffy without air conditioning. The restroom is on the second floor. It's a very authentic factory experience.
