Fangyuan Manatee Oysters Ecological Tourism Introduction
Fangyuan Intertidal Zone is Taiwan's last remaining original and largest intertidal wetland. The vast, boundless black mudflat is teeming with vibrant ecology, and it preserves a 60-year tradition where local farmers use water buffalo to assist fishermen in oyster harvesting. This unique practice has been registered as an intangible cultural asset in Changhua County and has led to the development of a one-of-a-kind global "water buffalo oyster harvesting" eco-tourism experience. Visitors can ride the water buffalo deep into "the ends of the earth," immerse themselves in fishing village culture, and feel the rhythm of ocean life, attracting travelers from all over Taiwan and even around the world.
