Yunlin / Mud Clam Ecological Leisure Park (Selected to Participate in the 2010 Taiwan Culinary Exhibition Featured Restaurant) Introduction
Located in the coastal village of Jinhou in Yunlin County, the Matsu Clam Leisure Park focuses on the restoration and artificial cultivation of Taiwan's native species, the "Red Mangrove Clam." The proprietor, Mr. Jie Chong, is dedicated to both domestic aquaculture and the development of recreational industries. In 2005, he established the Matsu Clam Theme Pavilion to promote clam craftworks, in conjunction with the Ministry of Labor's diversified employment programs. This initiative has created a new recreational hub along the Yunlin coast through local manpower resources. The park covers an area of 1.6 hectares and features a clam-touching experience pool, a lookout point for relaxation, and a theme pavilion that offers DIY clam crafts and tasting meals. The entrance is designed with driftwood. Matsu Clam Leisure Park integrates local cultural heritage and diverse industries while leveraging community resources. It has also planned packaged tours to experience the local fishing village ambiance. Visitors can enjoy activities such as DIY clam craft making and clam touching, as well as tasting meals rich in fishing village flavors, which have drawn many urban visitors. The "Crispy Flavored Egg with Sea Dragon Beard" is made from local ingredients, featuring chopped sea dragon beard, eggs, cilantro, and green onions. The seaweed used is rich in gelatin and fiber, making it both visually appealing and delicious. The "Matsu Clam Health Soup" offers a rich and fresh taste.
