One Day Farmer in Kaohsiung Brings Passion from the Field

It is One Day Farmer’s third time this year to attend Singapore Tourism Exposition to promote the interesting and passionate agricultural travel in Kaohsiung. For the past year, the number of tourists going agricultural travel in Kaohsiung has exceeded 1700 people. This year, Agriculture Bureau brings a new tour package to attract many travel agencies and tourists.

This year, One Day Farmer promotes “Agriculture x Craftsman” series to take tourists to experience the agriculture and fishery in coastal towns, visit the craftsmen in remote regions, visit pottery and wood art studios, play with clay and make wood works by themselves. Besides local craftsmanship, One Day Farmer also works with the peculiar indigenous culture in Kaohsiung to promote Maolin Culture Tour. In the Tour, the tourists can walk on Duona Suspension Bridge, the highest in Southeast Asia, taste millet wine flavor aiyu jelly and indigenous cuisine, visit stone-board houses, and try leather carving and make rice cake, etc. Because the tour package is so special that many people on the site check out more information online and ask the staff for details.

At the Tourism Exposition, the participants can taste the specialties particularly brought from Kaohsiung. Organic dried pineapples, dried dates, plum essence candy are very popular. Section Chief of Agriculture Bureau Fang Qi-feng indicates that for tourists interested in the products, they would promote tours to pick pineapples, dates and plums in Jiaxian and Baolai to them. Among them, the pineapple picking tour is the most frequently asked. Because most of the pineapple picking sites are in Dashu, closer to central Kaohsiung, it is suitable to combine this tour with central Kaohsiung sightseeing or a trip to other cities for more than a day. One Ms. Chen happily said after eating the dried pineapple given by Agriculture Bureau, “This is it! I miss the taste so much!” Ms. Chen used to pick pineapples in Dashu before. She said that the fragrance of pineapples she picked at that time is like that. She has always missed it and would like to visit other rural villages in Kaohsiung and taste other fresh fruit.

With an international airport and port, Kaohsiung is the largest city in Southern Taiwan. It connects with other cities with THSR and railways. With a freeway connecting to rural villages from Central Kaohsiung, it takes only 30 minutes in minimum. It is very convenient to take a trip to a rural village for half a day, a day or two days. The information regarding the seasonal tours to rural villages is posted online. The service mailbox [email protected] is available in Chinese, English and Japanese.
