-Attraction Introduction-

▲ Mataian Wetland
Spanning nearly 12 hectares, with the Fudeng River winding through the wetland, it is the largest ecological wetland in Hualien County and home to the largest Amis community in Taiwan. "Mataian" ("Fataan") is the name given to a type of tree bean by the Amis people. The tree bean is a mascot for the Amis people, who often carry it with them and plant it everywhere. The area of Fataan is named after the tree bean, meaning "a place full of tree beans."

▲ Xinlu Farm
Located at the foot of Mataian and Maxi Mountains in Guangfu, Hualien, Xinlu Farm began as a leisure agricultural operation over 20 years ago, starting with a fishing pond. In addition to offering a wealth of guided nature tours, DIY mochi-making and planting experiences, weaving, and stone house guesthouses, the area also offers a feast of local delicacies, including the unique Amis "Palakaw" fishing method, stone hot pot, and salt-grilled tilapia.

▲ Guangfu Sugar Factory
Established during the Japanese colonial period, the Hualien Tourism Sugar Factory, also known as the Guangfu Sugar Factory, sells a wide variety of ice cream flavors, from sweet and fluffy ice cream to refreshing and slightly sweet popsicles, leaving everyone feeling incredibly satisfied.
