To provide domestic and international tourists with a higher quality and more diverse travel experience, and to implement the regional tourism development policy of the Tourism Administration, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, the Northeast Coast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area Administration (hereinafter referred to as the Northeast Coast Administration) continues to integrate tourism resources in the Greater Northeast Coast region and held a familiarization tour of Xinan, Yilan on September 1st. This itinerary connects representative agricultural innovation sites, artisan crafts, and local tourism operators in Xinan, Yilan, guiding travel operators to deeply experience the region's culture and customs in a low-carbon, slow-paced way, and to feel the profound charm of the intertwining of natural landscapes and local industries, working together to promote the beauty of Yilan to domestic and international tourists.

This event, centered on "Industry Collaboration," invited 20 renowned travel industry professionals to personally experience local food and agriculture education, DIY workshops, and leisure tourism highlights. The first stop was the "Huajian Tea Farmer Station" in Dongshan Township, Yilan County, where tea farmers revitalized an old house to develop low-carbon, slow-paced tourism, allowing participants to experience planting and handicrafts, and feel the unique characteristics of tea and pomelos, as well as the charm of rural revitalization. Afterwards, the event moved to the "Dongshan Good Food Agricultural Innovation Park," converted from an old barn, where participants experienced making colorful rice balls, gently exploring local history and cultural landscapes.
