To promote the local "small farmers' craftsmanship spirit," enrich life attitudes, and showcase Hakka original vitality, Dongsen Mountain Forest Resort Hotel and the Yangmei District Farmers' Association of Taoyuan City jointly held a press conference today (30th) for the "2017 Sunshine Fills the Mountains, Little Farmers Delight in Taoyuan" event. The event combines local agricultural specialties, friendly small farmers' markets, Hakka cultural creativity, and rural Hakka experiences, aiming to help more people learn about Hakka culture, taste small farmers' cuisine, and experience rural Hakka life.

In recent years, with the guidance of the Yangmei District Office and the Farmers' Association, local small farmers have been achieving remarkable results, producing items such as organic vegetables, Yangmei pears, flowers, Yangmei rice, grass jelly, and scholar’s tea. Yao Dunming, Chief of Yangmei District, said that Dongsen Mountain Forest has always cared deeply about local agriculture. This time, in collaboration with the Farmers' Association, they use fresh local Yangmei ingredients, have planned a succulent plant garden, and connected with sunny small farmers to integrate ecology, production, and lifestyle into a series of in-depth travel experiences, offering visitors a unique sensation.

Dongsen Mountain Forest offers monthly courses on creating popular succulent plant arrangements in China, as well as local farming participation and sharing activities in Yangmei District, such as fruit picking, flower arranging, vegetable planting and weeding, tea picking and baking, rice planting and harvesting, and ecological observation. These educational experiences aim to create new values in local care and tourism, allowing more people to experience the area's diverse food culture and humanistic characteristics, thus crafting a richer new travel experience.

The General Manager of Dongsen Mountain Forest stated that the resort hopes to bring people closer to nature, not only through food but also by encouraging visitors to connect with the soil and experience farming life. By integrating the principles of production, ecology, and lifestyle in three-dimensional agriculture, they aim to embody the life attitude of the "small farmers' craftsmanship spirit." In addition, Dongsen Mountain Forest has created a succulent plant garden and offers various DIY workshops, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the stress-relieving charm of succulent plants.

Upholding a deep care and love for the land, and hoping to inject fresh vitality into local agriculture, Dongsen Mountain Forest also launched the "Sunny Little Farmers Passport Sunny Famaily." This passport not only allows unlimited access to Dongsen Mountain Forest for one year, but the first 1,000 members will also receive a complimentary accommodation voucher worth 6,800 yuan, the adoption right to a special variety of succulent plant, and various exclusive benefits such as one free monthly participation in a small farmers’ class or DIY activity, accommodation discounts, and more. The total value of these perks reaches up to 36,500 yuan.

The General Manager mentioned that the "Sunny Little Farmers Passport Sunny Famaily" costs just 3,650 yuan for a year, which breaks down to the equivalent of just a dime a day—10 yuan—allowing unlimited access to Dongsen Mountain Forest for an entire year. This includes attractions like the tung blossom trail, bird ecology area, cute animal zone, succulent plant area, and biodiversity exploration zone. The overall cost-performance ratio is off the charts, and the management hopes that nature-loving visitors will take advantage of the spring blossoms to fully enjoy the beauty of early spring in Yangmei, Taoyuan.
