Huadong Valley in summer is so lively that the flowers, fruits and rice extravagantly express their charm. A vast of golden rice fields and the fragrance of fruits accompanied me in my trip. Swinging into the lanes in the fields, I encountered one of the few tobacco barns left in Taiwan and took a plethora of Instagram worthy photos. There must be novelties for parents and children coming to the eastern Taiwan. For water play, our pick is the river where the indigenous people’s wisdom is hid, and for tea tasting, we recommend honey scented Black Tea and a new brand - Lioushihdan Tea. After sun sets, parents hold children’s hands and look for the terrestrial crabs and frogs together. The packed schedule of activities epitomizes the richness of Taiwan agriculture. The valley in every midsummer is worth visiting.
