Recommended Itineraries and Experiences

Taiwan's Only "Sea Ox" Oyster-Farming Tradition
In the coastal township of Fangyuan, a unique tradition known as the "sea ox" culture has been carefully preserved. Local fishermen train yellow cattle to pull carts across the exposed mudflats at low tide, helping transport oysters during farming and harvest. This is the only place in Taiwan where this practice still exists. Visitors can hop in an ox cart for a leisurely ride across the vast intertidal zone, then head to nearby Wangong Fishing Harbor to enjoy fresh seafood and oysters while taking in beautiful sunset views.

Cycling Through Blossoms
If you enjoy gardening and plants, Tianwei Highway Garden (Highway Garden Leisure Agriculture Area) is a must-see. This open-air garden community features hundreds of plant nurseries lining both sides of the road. Rent a bicycle and pedal your way through flowers, trees, and greenery.

A Taste of Wine Beneath the Grapevines
Erlin Township in Changhua has the highest concentration of wine grape cultivation in Taiwan. Several local wineries offer vineyard tours and tastings of locally produced red and white wines. With its simple rural atmosphere, Erlin is also an important growing area for dragon fruit. Visitors can book a fruit-picking session at nearby orchards and savor the fresh sweetness of tropical fruits.
