Kinmen Agricultural Research Institute Introduction
The Kinmen Agricultural Experiment Station was established in 1952, with main tasks including research on vegetables, melons and fruits, ornamental plants, and seed breeding. In 1997, it transitioned towards planning for a natural ecology and education park, creating multi-objective agricultural management, introducing tourism and recreational activities, and providing teaching and ecological environment improvement. In recent years, the Kinmen Agricultural Experiment Station has aimed to combine production, life, ecology, and sustainable living, actively revitalizing idle spaces, transforming dilapidated conservation rooms into a lively agricultural experience center - a hands-on classroom, planning to integrate rural elements to showcase local agricultural products and relevant experiential learning products, innovating tourism on the eastern peninsula, and creating new experiential tourism highlights for photography. The station frequently creates flower seas to attract tourists and has planned barbecue and earth oven areas, Eurasian otter habitats, Houlong Creek recreational areas, ecological regulation ponds, and flower corridors; the plants in the area change with the seasons, and the excellent environment attracts fireflies, cicadas, and various birds to dwell! The barbecue earth oven area has a total of 28 barbecue zones, each accommodating about 10 people, with seating and round ovens provided, allowing visitors to bring their own fuel, ingredients, etc., to experience the joys of rural life. The Gao Han Po sliding grass area is equipped with viewing platforms, resting seats, and other facilities, allowing the public to bring their own grass sliding equipment to enjoy the sliding area.
