Tour Highlights
- Fuyuan Village in Ruisui Township as the first developed area in the history of East Taiwan Immigration
- Learn about the distinguish characteristics of the 3 ecofriendly farms
The Fuyuan Village was previously named as “po̍at-á”, which is guava and also means grenade in Taiwan. In 1877, the Qing army troops suppress the aborigines of behind the mountain. Due to the Qing government’s policy of “opening up mountains and appease people”, it was also the earliest developed area in the history of East Taiwan immigration history. A road from Jiji,Nantou to Hualien was built that time, and the next year, they’ve built a temple named “Bao-an Gong”, which is also the first Cheng Huang Temple in Hualien(First temple with ChengHuang as the main god).Every 13th May of the lunar calendar, the residents would hold an event for ChengHuang’s birthday, to thank him for protecting this place, and they’ve used this form of celebration for more than a century. In every neighborhood there will be a leader of the parade, together they walk around with a big drum on their shoulders, hitting it at the same time.
The owner of Bai-chuan Farm was formerly a nurse in Hualien City. After her retirement, her husband and her went back to their hometown, and started their organic farming life. All the time, they insist on using organic cultivation methods to produce agricultural products. In this 1 hectare of land, it is planted with coffee trees, papaya, turmeric, bamboo ginger, roselle, and even fish, ducks, geese, and chickens! The owner said, their chicken, ducks and geese eat according to humans’ standard, so we don’t have to worry about eating residue of antibiotics, growth hormones, pigments, and pesticides while eating their eggs.
3-generation farming family: Wang father’s Farm, just like how the name said, this family farmed for 3generations.
They always plant with the heart for kids and families, just like treating family, they share this love to everyone they know because it is believed that it is a fate to get to know each other. Family and friendships are priceless, and health is of paramount important.
And the pour over coffee which got a silver medal, and also the freshly brewed herbal tea in Fruitman’s farm, they’re all waiting to spend a relaxing time together in Fuyuan Community.
