Incense plays an important part in Eastern religion. History has it; the Chinese has been using incense for thousands of years. It was first used for curing and healing diseases; later used in ceremonies. It slowly commonly used in the lives of the people which it affects the culture, religion and the society. Now a respective feature of Chinese religious rituals, incense is believed to be the bridge or connection of your prayers, communication or sending message to the spirits.

The incense industry, due to the religious purposes, not once hit the bottom. In modern days, incense is used into art, social and fashion for its uniqueness and traditional backgrounds. From large temples to small shrines, incense is required for worships and ceremonies. However, the industry in Taiwan did hit the bottom when the chemical, cheap produced products imported made a huge impact on the local factories.

A traditional incense factory build from scratch, using modern business resources collaborating with partners and later in 2008 becoming the Singang Incense Artistic Culture Garden we see now. Taking the traditional art into the modern phase, Singang Incense Artistic Culture Garden was designated to one of the local culture preservation. There are five major exhibition halls in the garden, organized in culture, living, artistic, original, and atmosphere. Taking guests into the world of incense, how they develop in different countries, how they affect different cultures, the history and the making process of incense, Singang Incense focus on passing down the torch. Besides from the exhibition halls, there’s a restaurant, hostel, DIY classroom, herbal farm, spice garden and a pond. It is great for family to visit with a chance to make your own incense, as well as just an easy sightseeing the herbal gardens.
