Peat Soil Active Basin Introduction
The special peat soil quality, with clear spring water flowing year-round, features deeper waters inhabited by large freshwater clams, as well as symbiotic high-bodied bivalves and Taiwan carps, showcasing beautiful colors. In shallower waters, traces of clams can be found. Other fish species, such as Taiwan minnows, crucian carp, giant mudskippers, common carp, flowerhorn cichlids, blue gill fish, and striped catfish, are also abundant. The wetland is home to many precious water willow trees, and flocks of egrets soar above the treetops, creating a charming rural atmosphere. This place is rich in natural ecological resources, with a large number of 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 features a vast peat wetland area spanning fifty hectares and reaching depths of several meters. Due to the swampy environment, organic matter decomposes slowly, leading to the formation and accumulation of peat. Peat is the most widely used and important organic matter cultivation material in the world, used in vegetable and plant production since the 18th century, supported by numerous studies. The Touse Basin possesses such high-quality terrain and geology, making it truly exceptional. Walking on the peat soil is unsteady and is also known as "Mambo Field." A journey to Touse, feeling the rhythm of the living basin, will be one of life's rarest experiences.
