A magnificent sight reminiscent of a crop circle can also be seen in Taiwan. The Corn Season series of events in Chiayi has launched the “Golden Corn Rooster Maze,” the largest in Taiwan this year, covering an area of 12 hectares and stretching 6 kilometers. It has opened to great fanfare, with free trials available from December 10 to 23, and official admission starting December 24.

This year’s maze is the most challenging since its inception four years ago. To celebrate the upcoming Year of the Rooster, the maze features a design of roosters and hens hatching chicks, seamlessly integrated into the fields. The maze also includes a coffee bar made of stacked shipping containers, offering free unlimited freshly ground coffee, static displays of corn-derived products, and a 360-degree observation deck for visitors to enjoy panoramic views of the maze.
