Keelung Heping Island Grand Tour Spot
Walking through colorful fishing harbors, landing on a centuries-old island, listening to stories of maritime faith, savoring the Ama’s feast, climbing ancient fortresses, and visiting indigenous communities—stepping onto Heping Island reveals that it is not only a scenic coastal destination but also a harbor island rich with layers of history, culture, and diverse community memories. This journey begins at the vibrant houses of Zhengbin Fishing Harbor. Built along the sea, this colorful harbor district has been hailed as “Taiwan’s Venice.” Fishing boats drift slowly across the harbor, the salty sea breeze sweeps through the streets, and the aroma of coffee wafts from small cafés, together creating the unique and charming atmosphere of Keelung Harbor life. From here, young participants embark on an exploration together. Crossing Taiwan’s first cross-sea bridge—Heping Bridge—they officially arrive at Heping Island, a small island with a history spanning four centuries. Once an important base for Spanish navigation, missionary work, and trade, the island had already become a hub of international maritime exchange 400 years ago. Cultures from different eras intersect here, leaving deep and multilayered historical traces across the island. Exploring the alleys and temples of the island reveals stories of maritime faith that have been passed down through generations. The Shaliao Tianhou Temple quietly guards this coastline, witnessing the centuries-long coexistence between fishermen and the sea. Mazu worship is not only a symbol of maritime safety but also embodies the emotional and cultural memories of the island’s residents. Through guided local tours, visitors gradually gain insight into the religious culture and social context behind the harbor community. The journey also offers a cultural experience of the distinctive “Ama Feast.” Local seafood ingredients, such as seaweed flower, hair algae, red algae, squid, and jiku-la, are presented to showcase regional flavors. Each dish embodies the wisdom of generations living alongside the sea, allowing participants to experience through taste how the ocean shapes local ways of life. Next, following a rustic trail upward, the group ascends an ancient fort that once protected the harbor. From the high vantage point, the expansive coastline unfolds, and one can reflect on the traces of Keelung’s past in mining, shipbuilding, and maritime development. These relics serve not only as symbols of military defense but also as important testimonies to Keelung’s growth as a harbor city. At another point in the journey, participants enter the cultural spaces and gathering halls of the Amis people to experience urban indigenous life up close. Through totems, cultural exhibitions, and interactive sharing, the Amis community’s cultural memories and life stories in this harbor city become visible, prompting reflection on transitional justice and the coexistence of diverse groups, and demonstrating how multiple communities live and develop together along the same coastline. As the journey unfolds, it becomes clear that exploring Heping Island is not merely a trip, but a deep immersion into harbor history and island culture. Amid the sea breeze and rolling waves, visitors encounter landscapes woven from culture and diversity, gaining a renewed understanding of the relationship between place, ocean, and people.

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.
