The "Zhuangwei Lifestyle Festival" has been well recognized and loved by all walks of life since its launch in 2019. The theme of this year (114) is "Paths and Fields in the Sea of Sand". It overlooks Zhuangwei from the perspective of an eagle circling in the sky, leading visitors to see the endless blue Pacific Ocean embracing the long gray sandy shore stretching from north to south, and the paddy fields stacked into the fertile Lanyang Plain. Two groups of artists are also invited to integrate landscape and cultural elements to create an environmental atmosphere, and continue to launch "Art Gathering Points", connecting Yilan and Zhuangwei areas with a series of activities such as "Art and Culture Studio", "Farming Experience", and "Bicycle Light Travel Tour", leading tourists to deeply experience the charm of Zhuangwei's local stories.

"Artist-in-Residence"

In terms of art works, two domestic artists were specially invited this year, namely Feiyu Madno Miska, an artist who is good at outdoor creation with mixed media, and Chen Yihui, an artist who is good at creating with earth materials such as bamboo weaving, branches, and fallen leaves. They will create around the Zhuangwei Sand Dune Ecological Park. The artists will echo the theme of "Paths and Paths in the Sand Sea" and use the roots of local culture and the pulse of life to create two landscape works, bringing together different creative characteristics and styles, and presenting the pastoral and ocean landscapes and profound local cultural connotations of Zhuangwei, Yilan through artistic creation. The works were completed in advance on June 28, and the public is welcome to come to Zhuangwei to experience the beauty of art and culture.
