Community Experience,Tainan Youth Travel Spot
As a new year begins, do you still remember the stories from your past—those moments that make you proud and nostalgic? Are you ready to add another remarkable chapter to your youth this year? Don’t let your youth slip away—enrich it by exploring the beautiful land of Taiwan in person! Our association’s activities will be launched one by one, offering tailor-made tours filled with cultural and tribal experiences, ecological education, and fun DIY workshops. If this sounds like your kind of adventure, don’t wait up—sign up and join us today! 1. Explore Pingpu Culture Beyond what you’ve learned from history textbooks—how much do you really know about the Pingpu people? Have you ever heard the legends that tell how to recognize the Pingpu heritage? Join us on a journey through Tainan’s community exploration sites—not just for photo stops, but to trace the living footprints of the Pingpu people and gain a deeper understanding of the fascinating Siraya culture. During this activity, participants will be guided into Beitouyang Village in Jiali, where the cultural journey of the Pingpu begins. 2. Sugar Industry Cultural Experience Taiwan’s sugar industry began during the Dutch East India Company’s rule and later became the backbone of Taiwan’s economy under the Qing Dynasty. During the Japanese colonial period, the industrialization of sugar production marked a turning point in Taiwan’s path toward modernization. As a result, the sugar industry became a powerful symbol of colonial modernization and capitalist development, leaving a lasting impact on communities across the island. In Tainan, sugar production dates back to the Dutch era and flourished during the Qing period, shaping both the economy and cultural landscape of Taiwan. Today, the Soulang Cultural Park (formerly the Jiali Sugar Factory) and the Tsung-Yeh Arts and Cultural Center are key landmarks representing this heritage. Visitors can still see the original narrow-gauge railway tracks once used by the sugar trains and even experience the fun of traditional sugar-making in a peaceful, nostalgic setting. The Yanping Community also has a long-standing sugar-making history dating back over 200 years. The community once produced sugar in traditional “sugar huts,” a nearly lost craft that has now been revived and shared with the public to preserve this cultural legacy. During this activity, participants will: *Learn about the cultural and historical significance of Taiwan’s sugar industry. *Enjoy fun, game-based learning activities that bring history to life. *Visit Yanping Community to experience handmade brown sugar production and discover the deep connection between the local community and the sugar industry. 3. Dive into the Culture of the Salt Industry This itinerary centers around the theme of salt, taking you along Taiwan’s coastal salt-making heritage. Along the way, you’ll visit the oldest surviving tile-paved salt field ruins and explore the former Qigu Salt Fields, once the largest in Taiwan. Through these sites, you’ll uncover the rise and fall of the salt industry, its transformation over time, and how the government has worked to revive this once-thriving tradition by turning former salt fields into vibrant eco-tourism destinations. These restored areas now showcase a unique blend of offshore sandbars, lagoons, and coastal wetlands, offering both cultural insight and natural beauty. Among the highlights: Jingzijiao Salt Fields, the first salt fields established in Beimen and the oldest existing tile-paved salt field ruins in Taiwan. Qigu Salt Mountain, a famous landmark of Tainan’s Qigu District, originally used to store salt from the Qigu Salt Fields. Over time, the piled salt hardened naturally into solid blocks, creating the iconic “salt mountain” seen today. During the activity, participants will: *Learn about the history and transformation of Taiwan’s salt industry. *Explore the Jingzijiao Salt Field ruins and Qigu Salt Fields. *Experience firsthand the traditional salt-making process under the sun.

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.
