Xihai Leisure Agricultural Park Introduction
If you want to fulfill your farming dream, you don't need to own a piece of land! Located at the border, Xihai Leisure Agricultural Area is a typical example of the agricultural sector entering a "new era" in recent years. Knowledge that could only be "understood" from books can now be experienced firsthand by travelers, allowing them to learn how common ingredients reach the table by planting watermelons, harvesting cucumbers, and digging sweet potatoes. Moreover, when visiting the main base for wholesale flowers in Taiwan, you can't miss wandering through the sea of flowers and enjoying the therapeutic charm that flowers and plants bring. The so-called "Lohas" lifestyle doesn't need to be pursued far and wide. Currently, there are several leisure farms, flower farms, and gardening farms in the Xihai Leisure Agricultural Area. The main agricultural products here include rice and various vegetables and fruits, such as "three melons and one wheat" (watermelon, cantaloupe, sweet potato, and buckwheat). You might want to pick up a hoe and experience being a farmer for a day; the newly launched watermelon planting experience sold out instantly, letting urban travelers transform into rural people to feel the authenticity of "growing and harvesting"; picking eggs at the chicken farm, easily distinguishing good and bad eggs; kneading, fermenting, and steaming to make colorful buns more reassuring; the DIY handmade calla lily soap looks exquisite and is easy to wash, allowing beginners to enjoy the fun of making "soap"; imagine yourself as a designer, picking up a brush to create a unique straw hat... These fascinating rural experiences enrich and fulfill the journey. In addition to producing crops, flowers are also a major product of Xihai Leisure Agricultural Area. The three main cut flower supply regions in Taiwan—Huwei, Neihu, and Jianguo—source their flowers from Xihai Flower Area! The flowers for the Taipei Flower Expo and the Taichung New Century Flower Festival also come from here! Flowers bloom all year round in the park, so no matter when you visit, you won't be disappointed. Whether cycling along the field paths and leisurely strolling amidst the endless orange and yellow chrysanthemums, or walking into a sunflower field, feeling surrounded by a sea of flowers offers unmatched romance, each has its own joy. Annually held colorful calla lily seasons and floral festivals in Taoyuan attract millions of visitors to witness the spectacular scenery. Brewing a pot of floral tea with crispy pancakes while enjoying the flowers and gazing at planes taking off and landing is the most enjoyable way to experience it.
