Daylily season kick-off ceremony

[Taipei] Acting Ambassador of Tuvalu, a diplomatic ally of the Republic of China, attended the 2024 Hualien County Daylily Flower Festival press conference yesterday to express support for Hualien tourism. This year's flower season will officially start on August 10 , and the flower viewing season and related tourism activities will continue until October 13. Traveling to Hualien Daylily Flower Festival during the summer vacation is an excellent travel itinerary planning.

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.
