Hualien Yinchuan Organic Rice Production Area Tour - A Natural Therapy Journey for All Five Senses

"Sharing and symbiosis—I believe this is the true value of organic rice." ~ The sharing and symbiosis of Yinchuan organic rice extends beyond farmers and the environment to encompass every inhabitant of the land. Through this healing journey of nature, we can experience the vitality of the land and the connection between this organic land and ourselves.

Yinchuan Organic Rice, a well-known organic food brand, will be taking visitors on a rural tour during the rice harvest season in November to explore the land that produces Yinchuan rice. Through farming experiences and interactions with local farmers, we'll learn about the significance and preciousness of domestically produced organic rice.

The 2022 Yinchuan Feimi Grain Market will feature fun rice DIYs, local snacks, and stalls featuring friendly smallholder farmers. Discover a variety of surprises!

In addition, we'll visit Yuli Town and visit the Yuli Catholic Church and Yuli Shrine. Besides getting to know Yuli, we'll also follow local youth on the Walami Trail, listen to stories about Formosan black bears, and learn to respect the mountains and forests and protect their ecological integrity.
