The "Niuer Art Resort," established in 1987, covers an area of about 20,000 pyeong (approximately 65,700 square meters). The resort is planted with a variety of flowers and plants, making it a veritable nature and ecology classroom. Every mid-April, the tung flowers steal the show. Strolling through the garden, clusters of white flowers shine brilliantly under the sunlight, while petals fallen by the rain dot the lawn. The interplay of white and green adds a poetic touch, attracting many tourists to stop and take photos.

In addition to the captivating tung flowers, the artworks are another major highlight of the resort. More than ten thousand stone and wood carvings are scattered throughout the grounds, all created by artist Lin Yuan. Painted with bright colors and whimsical strokes on stones and wood, these ordinary objects are transformed into various adorable creatures, as if given new life. Nearly every piece has a story, allowing visitors to discover deeper meanings while admiring them.
