Shangrui Citrus Garden Introduction
Shangrui Tourist Fruit Orchard is located in Zhudong Township, Hsinchu County, along Donghe Industrial Road, which is 500 meters from the Southqing Highway. The orchard began planting citrus trees in 1989, primarily growing shatangju (a type of Mandarin orange) and tarocco oranges. Covering an area of approximately 1.5 hectares, it transformed into a leisure industry in 1993, offering fruit picking activities. Currently, it receives technical guidance from the farmers' association and the township office, and undergoes agricultural inspections by the Taoyuan Agricultural Improvement Station every year. In 2000, it was awarded the silver medal in the “Tourist Farm Evaluation - Excellent Tourist Farm Production and Sales Class” at the provincial level. Mr. Lai, the owner of the orchard, currently serves as a supervisor for the Taiwan Association of Tourist Farms and dedicates his life to researching fruit tree cultivation. Visitors who come for fruit picking have given very high praise. This year, the improved “Qingjian No. 2” variety has attracted the most attention, known for its large size, fine fibers, mildly sweet and juicy flavor.
