Kinmen Agricultural Research Institute Introduction
The Kinmen Agricultural Research Institute was established in 1952, and its main tasks include experimental research on vegetables, melons and fruits, ornamental plants, and seed breeding. In 1997, it transformed towards planning for natural ecology and educational parks, creating a multi-purpose operation in agriculture, introducing tourism and recreational activities, and providing teaching and ecological environment improvement. In recent years, the Kinmen Agricultural Research Institute aims to integrate production, life, ecology, and sustainable living, actively revitalizing idle spaces, and transforming the dilapidated conservation rooms into a Healthy Agriculture Experience Center - a DIY classroom. It plans to incorporate rural elements to showcase local agricultural products and related agricultural experiential learning products, innovating on the tourism depth of the eastern peninsula and creating new exciting spots for experiential tourism and photography. The area occasionally creates flower seas to attract tourism and has planned barbeque and clay oven areas, Eurasian otter habitats, Houlong Creek waterfront areas, ecological regulation pools, flower corridors, etc. The plants in the park change with the seasons, and the excellent environment attracts fireflies, cicadas, and various birds! The barbeque oven area has a total of 28 barbeque zones, with each zone accommodating about 10 people, all equipped with seating and clay ovens. Visitors can bring their own fuel and ingredients to enjoy the fun of rural life. The Grass Sliding Area at Haohan Slope features viewing platforms, resting seats, and other facilities, where the public can bring their own grass sliding tools to have fun in the grass sliding area.
