The entire building is a green building. The exhibition space design is planned based on the transparency of the building's exterior, aiming for energy saving and carbon reduction. Furthermore, the exhibition provides a wealth of chocolate-related knowledge (including 3500 years of chocolate history), making it a professional, educational, and entertaining factory museum, and an excellent destination for leisure and entertainment. Since its establishment in 1976, Hunya Foods has upheld the business philosophy of 'integrity, innovation, quality, and service'. After more than thirty years of steady growth, it has established an excellent reputation in Taiwan's food industry. From a specialist in snack foods to a model of refined baking, and from improvements in manufacturing quality to venturing into channel management, Hunya envisions a new century – the future of gourmet food. With unwavering integrity, Hunya continuously pursues excellence and diligently writes the history of Taiwanese food. By understanding market trends and fully grasping new technologies, new equipment, and new raw materials, we aim to develop safe, hygienic, high-quality products through comprehensive innovation in flavor, manufacturing, and management, returning deliciousness to our customers. We continuously develop new products and expand our consumer base into different fields. We implement multi-brand management and strategic synergies across different channel types, and actively expand into overseas markets and establish collaborations with internationally renowned manufacturers. Our goal is not only to keep pace with European and American imported foods but also to forge our own path towards becoming a major international integrated food conglomerate. As an industry leader, Hunya aspired to create a unique professional museum that incorporates environmental concepts! The planning of the tourist factory alone took 2 years, bringing together countless internal company resources and the efforts of multiple excellent external teams. Finally, in 2012, Asia's first green building chocolate museum was successfully built! Inside the museum, in addition to the unique and creative products of the new brand CHOTTY&COTTY, it also gathers limited edition products from Hunya's business units - 77, Lih Pao, and Cotty. This allows visitors to the museum to experience Hunya's innovation and dedication in its products. The exhibition provides a detailed introduction to 3500 years of chocolate history and related cocoa farming, narrating how cocoa pods transform into delicious chocolate. Furthermore, it offers supporting evidence to debunk common myths about chocolate! At Hunya Foods Chocolate Tourist Factory, visitors can absorb a wealth of knowledge by exploring independently or through informative and entertaining guided tours led by professional staff. They can also sign up for chocolate DIY classes, where professional instructors guide them in creating their own unique chocolates! The old factory production line viewing path showcases the production lines of Hunya's star products, such as 77 Nougat, Big Wave Chocolate, and Puff Pastry, allowing everyone to witness firsthand the manufacturing process of these products that have accompanied them as they grew up! A visit to Hunya Foods Chocolate Tourist Factory is like reading a comprehensive book on chocolate and a professional textbook on the baking industry.
