Taitung Farm Introduction
The Taitung Farm, operated by the Veterans Affairs Council of the Executive Yuan, is easily accessible with a straightforward location. The farm’s signage is prominently displayed on both sides of the provincial highway, featuring a lighthouse style on one side and an archway style on the other, making the goals very clear and the design quite innovative. The walls on both sides of the farm's front are made of stone masonry with a base covered in small pebbles, displaying a mix of black, white, and dark red stones set in white cement. Stone lions are installed at the stone masonry base, totaling 100 on both sides, which are quite eye-catching and impressive. The Taitung area spans a vast expanse of 15,637 hectares, with an additional 3 hectares allocated for a seedling area. The internal layout is centered around an office building, with employee dining, dormitories, production facilities, a raw material warehouse, and recreational areas distributed on either side. The area that was originally a fish pond has been converted into a tennis court. There is a full-body bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek in the square, and the open spaces within the area have been meticulously designed to include the Self-Reliance Park, Specimen Park, a fountain, and gardens, surrounded by towering cypress and pines, keeping the environment evergreen, with blooming flowers throughout the seasons, earning it the name "Chishang Park." Additionally, the history museum features a rich collection of ancient farming tools, and the green space showcases the evolution of modern agricultural machinery, providing significant educational and observational value.
