Jijibanana Jiuyuan Fruit Tourism Factory Introduction
To discuss the history of Jiji, one must start with the "Jiji banana." Thanks to its unique climate and fertile soil, Jiji bananas are exceptionally delicious, being both fragrant and sweet, rich in moisture, and pleasantly chewy, showcasing a distinct flavor. Taiwan was once renowned as a "Banana Kingdom," and in the early days, bananas were exported in large quantities to Japan, with central Taiwan's bananas holding considerable importance. Jiji bananas even pleased the discerning palate of the Japanese Emperor, who designated them as a tribute product; the basket marked with the character "千" signifies the guaranteed quality of Jiji bananas. Introducing the characteristics of Jiji bananas allows everyone to appreciate that visiting Jiji is not just about riding the small train or enjoying the mountain scenery; Jiji is full of historical tales and was once a glorious paradise for bananas. The Jiji Banana Cultural and Creative Park is divided into three main themed areas: the outdoor banana garden ecological park, which cultivates over 103 varieties of bananas, including ornamental and edible types. In the afternoon, you can enjoy the sunset while overlooking the "Jiji Weir," where the Zhuoshui River flows westward, creating a beautifully picturesque scene with the sunset over the banana gardens. The production building is the headquarters of Jiji Banana, where many delicious foods are produced, such as banana heart chocolate, banana roll pastries, banana chips, golden banana bars, and more.
