Emei Slow Travel
Immersive Nature Experience Participants step into Emei Lake, the Shitoushan trails, tea plantations, and citrus orchards. They measure the land with their footsteps, observe ecosystems with their eyes, and breathe in the aromas of tea and fruit. Nature is no longer just a backdrop, but the main character. This multi-sensory experience helps relax the body and mind while enhancing environmental awareness and empathy. Local Artisan Guidance and Cultural Transmission Tea farmers, fruit growers, and local lifestyle practitioners guide participants through the processes of tea making, citrus cultivation, and traditional rice-based foods. Through hands-on participation, participants come to understand that culture is not something to be displayed, but something lived. This fosters respect for labor and a deeper appreciation of local culture. Hands-on Craft and Culinary Experience Activities such as mochi making, traditional rice-based food DIY, tea tasting, and citrus harvesting connect ingredients, seasons, and culture. Participants use their hands to carry home memories, seasonal rhythms, and local flavors. This tactile learning approach transforms abstract cultural knowledge into lived experience, strengthening sensory memory and practical skills. Physical Engagement and Team Experience SUP water activities, lakeside hiking, campfire gatherings, and BBQ games encourage collaboration, sharing, and self-challenge across generations. These activities not only promote physical well-being but also build trust, coordination, and a sense of community through joyful interaction. Slow Living and Self-Exploration The program is designed around a slower pace, allowing participants time to observe, reflect, and feel. From tea picking and processing to crafting and lakeside wandering, each moment becomes an opportunity for self-dialogue. This encourages participants to discover their own rhythm and develop an appreciation for the aesthetics of everyday life. Cultural Depth and Connection to Daily Life From tea leaves to tea aroma, from farming to crafting, each activity integrates local culture, tea traditions, and regional cuisine. Participants do not simply listen to stories, but learn by doing, gaining insight into the philosophies and values embedded in daily life. This fosters cultural identity and practical wisdom. Intergenerational Co-learning and Community Bonding Families, youth, and elders participate together, engaging in shared activities, communication, and mutual support. This cultivates respect, inclusiveness, and collaboration, allowing participants to experience how culture and nature can bridge connections across generations. Environmental Awareness and Sustainability Education Through trail walking, orchard harvesting, and tea plantation experiences, participants learn how to care for nature and understand ecosystems and seasonal cycles. This strengthens environmental awareness and promotes sustainable living, seamlessly integrating recreation with education.

Sixty Stone Mountain Youth Adventure Base, Hualien
At Sixty Stone Mountain, the youth travel experience is designed around seasonal changes, creating immersive journeys that can be enjoyed all year round. One of its most distinctive features is the two completely different experiences of daylilies at different times of the year. From August to September, during the peak daylily flower season, visitors can step into the fields and hand-pick daylily buds. They can learn the full process—from harvesting and processing to the final dishes served on the table. This hands-on experience allows participants to feel the rhythm of farm work and the joy of harvest, while also enjoying the breathtaking view of golden flowers covering the mountains. Through interactions with local farmers and practical activities, young participants gain a deeper understanding of the market value, economic benefits, and sustainable potential of the daylily industry. They also learn how to evaluate agricultural investments and explore opportunities in agribusiness. Outside of the flower season, a lesser-known and exclusive experience is offered: harvesting “Daylily Jade Shoots,” the tender inner core of the plant. With its crisp and delicate texture, it is a seasonal delicacy well known to locals. By harvesting and cooking it themselves, participants discover that daylilies are not just flowers, but a versatile crop with multiple uses. This experience highlights how agricultural resources can be transformed into diverse values, and how closely farming, industry, and daily life are connected. This seasonal design allows Sixty Stone Mountain to go beyond being just a flower-season destination. Visitors can come at any time of the year and enjoy unique, authentic experiences. From the lively harvest during the flower season to the peaceful mountain atmosphere and jade shoot experience in the off-season, each visit reflects the natural rhythm of the land. More importantly, by understanding agricultural value, economic potential, and investment opportunities, this journey becomes more than tourism—it is a deep exploration of learning, industry, and life, shaped by the changing seasons.
Yilan Atayal Hunters 668 Conservation Forest – Youth Exploration Journey
The Dual Perspective: Hunters and Conservationists This program places youth in the real context of an Atayal hunting trail, moving beyond passive tourism. Participants learn traditional hunting skills rooted in Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), while also engaging in modern scientific monitoring such as infrared camera deployment and data interpretation. The integration of ancient knowledge and modern technology is the program’s key strength. OECMs Practice Site Using the “668 Wildlife Conservation Area” as a field site, the program introduces the concept of Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs). Participants witness how the community applies its traditional governance system (Gaga) to achieve biodiversity conservation through a bottom-up approach, even outside formal protected areas. Educational Significance Environmental Ethics: Challenges the idea that conservation equals non-use, emphasizing sustainable use and respect for nature. Citizen Science: Hands-on monitoring builds scientific skills and highlights the importance of data in environmental action. Cultural Dialogue: Interaction with elders fosters respect for Indigenous knowledge and promotes inclusive global citizenship.
