Daylily season
kick-off ceremony
To show support for
her hometown and promote Hualien tourism, Hualien County Governor Hsu Zhenwei
personally attended the " 2024 Hualien County Golden Needle
Flower Season Press Conference". She said: Hualien suffered a natural
disaster before, but the warmth from all over the country comforted the people
of Hualien and gave them the courage to actively recover. Now, everything in Hualien
has returned to normal. With the Golden Needle Flower Season starting in
mid- August , Hualien people sincerely invite everyone to come to
Hualien to accept the local hospitality, enjoy the flowers and food together,
and personally experience the sincere gratitude and warm friendship of the
people of Hualien.
Before the flower
season started this year, we specially invited the acting ambassador of Tuvalu,
a country with diplomatic ties to the Republic of China, O'Scholes, to attend
the press conference. The indigenous peoples of Tuvalu and Taiwan belong to the
same Austronesian language family. Tuvalu and Hualien are both unpolluted
paradises on earth. Therefore, Acting Ambassador O'Scholes is deeply interested
in the aboriginal culture and natural beauty of Hualien, and hopes to do his
best to revitalize Hualien's tourism.
Since a large number
of golden needle flowers are planted in Chike Mountain in Yuli and Liushishi
Mountain in Fuli, forming a golden flower carpet stretching between the peaks
and foothills of Mount Tai, in addition to harvesting and
selling, 40 hectares of flowers are left on each of the two mountains
this year. Supported by the Hualien County Government, the Yuxi District
Farmers' Association and the Fuli Farmers' Association planned and implemented
multiple scenic spots with the beautiful scenery of the sea of golden needle
flowers, combined with local food, store consumption, etc., to launch
the 2024 Hualien County Golden Needle Flower Season.
This year, Yuli Chike
Mountain has once again obtained the portrait authorization of the Japanese
cartoon character Kanahera, and the doll was also introduced to everyone for
the first time at a press conference. In addition to serving as the main visual
of this year's daylily season, limited edition co-branded cultural and creative
products are also planned, and 5 Chike one-day tours are arranged
in August , allowing tourists to take a special car to wander in the
sea of flowers, check in and take beautiful photos, collect the complete beauty
of Chike Mountain, experience hand-made things, enjoy local delicacies, and
roam more carefree.
This year, the theme
of Fuli Sixty Stone Mountain is "Forget the Worry of the Earth
Thanksgiving Festival", which is presented in a celebratory manner. Through
a joyful opening ceremony, tourists are invited to participate in the
celebration, while closely adhering to the concept of the Fuli Township Farmers
Association, "Coexisting in harmony with nature." Of course, in order
to let tourists experience the fun of the golden needle farm, Fuli has also
planned one-day and two-day tours, so that tourists do not have to worry about
arranging the itinerary and can take a special car to have fun all at once.
