Soxking Tourism Factory in Tianzhong is a specialized industrial tourism site focused on the history and mechanical production of socks in Taiwan. The facility serves as an educational center illustrating the evolution of knitting technology from manual hand-operated looms to computerized textile machines. Visitors can observe the active production line to see how raw yarn is transformed into finished hosiery products. The site includes a dedicated exhibition area detailing the structural anatomy of different sock types and ergonomic design principles. DIY sessions are available for hands-on experience in sock puppet making or custom sock design. The complex functions as both an active manufacturing plant and a retail hub for regional textile goods. It emphasizes the history of Taiwan's once-thriving knitting industry in Changhua County.
