Yunlin / Horseshoe Crab Ecological Leisure Park (Selected to participate in the 2010 Taiwan Food Exhibition Specialty Restaurant) Introduction
Located in Jinhu Village on the southwestern coast of Yunlin County, the Matsu Clam Leisure Park focuses on the artificial cultivation of Taiwan's native species, the "red mangrove clam." The operator, Mr. Jie Chong, is dedicated not only to local aquaculture but also to the development of the leisure industry. In 2005, the Matsu Clam Theme Pavilion was established to develop clam and shellfish crafts, integrating various employment programs from the Council of Labor Affairs and creating a new recreational spot along the coast of Yunlin through the entry of human resources. Covering an area of 1.6 hectares, the park features a clam experience pool, a recreational viewing platform, and a theme pavilion that offers DIY clam activities and tasting meals, with the entrance designed using driftwood. The Matsu Clam Leisure Park integrates local cultural and diverse industry resources and has planned a packaged tour itinerary that allows visitors to experience the charm of a fishing village. In addition to DIY crafts featuring Matsu clams and activities like clam digging and laundry washing, the park features delicacies that showcase the flavors of fishing villages using Matsu clams as the main ingredient, attracting many urban visitors. The Crispy Flavored Bean Sprouts dish is made with local sea dragon beard vegetables, which are chopped and mixed with eggs, cilantro, and green onion. The sea veggies are rich in gelatin and fiber, making it both visually appealing and delicious. The Matsu Clam Health Soup offers a strong umami flavor.
