2011/04/09 Fuxing, Changhua – Shih Chin Yu San Fang Incense Shop
▲ Another witness to the historical elegance of Lukang is the "Shih Chin Yu San Fang Incense Shop," founded in the 21st year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1756 AD).
▲ The shop has integrated innovative modern technology to increase productivity and competitiveness.
▲ This machine presses the raw materials for coil incense into long strips. Don't they look just like udon noodles?
▲ Coiling the pressed incense strips into their signature ring shape.
▲ Although the production of coil incense has been replaced by machinery, the young proprietor (the "small boss") has certainly not forgotten the craftsmanship passed down by his ancestors!
▲ Traditional coil incense making stands—these two platforms are over a hundred years old!
▲ Traditional manufacturing tools.
▲ Finished incense sticks and coils must follow the traditional method of natural air-drying and sun-drying. The owner says that back when the incense industry was at its peak, the sight of the plaza covered in drying incense was truly spectacular!
▲ By blending traditional and modern elements, the products developed within the shop have become very diverse.
▲ Agarwood and Sandalwood.
▲ Coil incense and joss sticks (lying incense).
▲ Agarwood Tea: The agarwood chunks used for brewing tea are not only extremely precious but also... not cheap! However, the mellow and fragrant taste attracts many tea ceremony enthusiasts.
▲ In addition to purchasing products, group visitors can enjoy a live demonstration of traditional incense making! You can also experience a DIY incense block workshop—but remember, you must call in advance to make a reservation!
▲ Shih Chin Yu San Fang Incense Shop welcomes you!
