Step into Yilan's fields and fishing villages for an immersive one-day tour that combines culture and ecology! This itinerary departs from Jiaoxi/Yilan, bringing you closer to the local ox-plowing culture. You'll make friends with the oxen, experience the gradually disappearing traditional method of ox-plowing, and feel the deep connection between traditional agricultural wisdom and the land.
In the afternoon, head to a non-toxic Thai shrimp ecological pond. Under the guidance of a shrimp farming expert, you'll learn about eco-friendly aquaculture and shrimp ecology, and personally experience the joy of shrimp fishing. The tour concludes with a DIY grilled non-toxic Thai shrimp session, transforming "food and agriculture education" into the most flavorful memory.
This 8-hour tour is perfectly arranged for families, friends, and small groups, promising a fulfilling and rewarding experience.
