How do you know how the original Taiwanese lily blooms on the island of Guishan every spring? This large-scale flower sea is not cultivated with high-cost bulbs, but the lily flower is naturally planted by its own seeds. It has become one of the signature landscapes of Guishan Island in recent years. In order to make the scenery sustainable, the northeast corner of the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Communications and the Yilan Coast National Scenic Area Administration Office will carry out the seed cultivation work in conjunction with the local residents in June this year, and implement the sustainable tourism environment.

The captain of the police force Xu Yuanzhen, who works in the northeast corner management office and has the nickname "Island", said that the process of planting and cultivating the native lily is quite complicated. After the flowering period in April and May, it is necessary to wait for the pollinated fruit to dry up. Mature, in order to collect seeds for refrigerated operations, this year is expected to invite visitors to the island to experience the natural sowing of nature in October-November. It takes about 7 to 8 months from sowing to flowering. If it is smooth, you can see the results of your efforts next spring. Visitors who are invited to sow seeds can go to Guishan Island again to see flowers.

The native lily on Guishan Island is dominated by the cannon lily and the Taiwanese lily. The iron cannon is pure white and the Taiwanese lily has special burgundy stripes. Due to the lack of human interference, the flowers blooming in the spring every year are awe-inspiring visitors. No. Chen Meixiu, Director of the Management Office of the Northeast Corner, said that sustainable development and eco-tourism are the trend of tourism. The Management Office has always been aiming at building a quality tourism environment of "quality, ecology, safety, humanity and friendliness". I hope that through this project.
