This year, special guidance has been given to farmers' associations to create edible landscapes using aromatic plants or vegetables and fruits, allowing the public to both admire and learn about various ingredients while experiencing the farming life that nurtures local produce. Meanwhile,twelve townships along Taiwan Provincial Highway 9 in the East Rift Valley—Xinxiu, Hualien City, Ji’an, Shoufeng, Fenglin, Ruisui, Guangfu, Yuxi, Fuli, Chihshang, Guanshan, and Luye—have planted 345 hectares of golden rapeseed flowers and 102 hectares of pink-hued cosmos, creating 19 prime flower-viewing spots concentrated with these blooms. Coastal areas along Taiwan Provincial Highway 11 in Taitung, including Chenggong and Changbin, have also developed floral landscapes where the azure sea enhances the vibrancy of the flowers, adding even more charm to agritourism in the East Rift Valley.
