Lin Mei Jinzhao Cultural Center Introduction
Lin Mei Village in Jiaoxi Township is known as the Village of Kumquats, where every farmer has a deep understanding of kumquat culture. The "kumquat," also known as "Fortunella" or "kin-kan," is a fruit with a golden-yellow exterior and a sweet-and-sour interior. Due to its golden hue, it is considered a symbol of good fortune. This facility is themed around kumquats, established with the guidance of the Agricultural Council and local agricultural associations. Visitors or schools can make reservations for tours, where the owner or staff will provide insights about kumquats, allowing for the acquisition of considerable knowledge. The first floor features a sales area that is open for on-site tasting and sampling, and of course, souvenirs can be purchased here. The second floor serves as an exhibition area, offering visual explanations and text introductions to help tourists and children understand the processing of kumquats and the different care methods for each season. When visiting, don't forget to bring home "Kumquat Throat Candy" emblazoned with "Lin Mei"—a popular local specialty in Jiaoxi that is suitable for all ages. Not only does it soothe the throat, but its flavor is also unforgettable.
