Experience Palakaw, a traditional Amis fishing practice, in the crystal-clear Fudeng River. Watch as local Amis people craft underwater shelters for fish and shrimp using bamboo tubes, Subcostate crape myrtle, and Formosan sugar palm leaves. This sustainable fishing method, which harvests only what is needed, embodies an ancient wisdom of living in harmony with nature.

From foraging wild greens and discovering edible stream plants and freshwater shrimp, to crafting your own serving bowl, this hands-on experience offers a deeper understanding of the culture of locally sourced cuisine. Savor homemade dishes bursting with natural flavors, then immerse yourself in a first-person perspective of Fata'an's most refreshing feast in the river.

Pedal through the Yiwu Detention Pond, often called the “Little Sun Moon Lake,” and explore the surrounding Hukou Wetlands to discover mangrove ecosystems. Or visit the Chenglong Wetlands, where farmlands have given way to tidal marshes, and admire eco-engineered land art installations. At Linhai Park, watch the sun set over the oyster beds and soak in the unique coastal culture of Haikou.

Visit the home of mullet roe and behold the stunning sight of golden roe drying beneath the winter sun. Taste this prized delicacy known as "black gold," its flavor capturing the essence of the sea in concentrated form. Feast on dishes featuring seasonal local seafood at the Jinhu commercial district or Kouhu Visitor Center, or dig into decadent eel rice dishes. Everything comes straight from the source to your plate, delivering the ocean's freshest and sweetest flavors with every bite.

Hop on a bike and explore the Chishang Rice Leisure Farming Area, stopping by iconic spots like Mr. Brown Avenue and Paradise Road, or riding along the Chishang Circular Bicycle Path. Take in sweeping views of Dapo Pond and rice fields, lose yourself in landscapes where lush green and golden paddies ripple across the plains, and embrace the liberating calm of this unhurried countryside.

Chishang is more than a rice-growing region—it's a living stage for the arts. The East Rift Valley Land Art Festival dots the landscape with installation artworks, while the Autumn Rice Harvest Arts Festival transforms golden paddies into a backdrop for performances by artists and renowned troupes. These two signature events turn the valley into an open-air theater, where culture and creativity flourish amid natural beauty.
