Nantou Attractions

Peat Soil Active Basin Introduction

The unique peat soil, with clear spring water flowing continuously throughout the year, hosts large clams in deeper waters, as well as the beautiful colors of the highbody side skin and the Taiwan stone carp that coexist with the clams. In shallower waters, traces of clams can be found. Other fish species such as Taiwan shiner, crucian carp, seven-star eel, carp, flowerhorn, green sunfish, and striped catfish are also abundant. The wetland is also home to many precious willows, and flocks of herons can be seen soaring from the treetops, showcasing a picturesque rural setting. The area boasts rich natural ecological resources, with numerous fireflies, dragonflies, damselflies, frogs, beetles, stick insects, mantises, birds, fish, and shellfish. After thousands of years of interaction between aquatic plant growth and sedimentation, the basin has a vast area of peat wetland spanning fifty hectares and reaching several meters in depth. Due to the swampy environment, organic matter decays slowly, resulting in the formation and accumulation of peat. Peat is the most widespread and important organic cultivation material in the world, having been used for vegetable and plant production since the 18th century, supported by extensive research. The Tou-she basin possesses such high-quality terrain and geology, making it truly advantageous. Walking on the peat soil can be quite unsteady, earning it the nickname "Wambo Field." A stroll through Tou-she to feel the rhythm of this vibrant basin will be one of life's most unique experiences.
