The shimmering Shierliao Lake (Dapi) and the picturesque Emei Lake are favorite spots for visitors to linger. In addition to enjoying the beautiful lake and mountain scenery, the nearby Shierliao Ancient Trail and bike path are perfect for hiking and cycling. It's also a popular destination for viewing tung blossoms and fireflies. The area offers various types of recreational agricultural experiences, including tea gardens, orchards, farms, and kiln-baked bread activities. Whether it's picking tea, harvesting fruit, or making bread, each offers its own unique fun. When you come here, you can take a leisurely stroll in Shierliao in the morning, soaking in the relaxed pace of rural life, and then visit local tea gardens or farms to choose your preferred agricultural tourism experience. Taking "Shierliao Leisure Farm" as an example, this is a local farm specializing in organic crops. The third generation, returning to their hometown from elsewhere, transformed the original production-focused farm into a tourist-friendly recreational farm. The farm owner guides visitors to greenhouses, introducing vegetables and fruits cultivated using natural farming methods and elevated planting, such as figs, chayote, lettuce, and taro-flavored winter melon. In addition to fruits and vegetables, the farm also cultivates flowers like roses and offers experiences for picking vegetables and fruits. Besides fruit picking, hands-on DIY experiences such as making Hakka Lei Cha (pounded tea), Ziba (Hakka mochi), and Hakka vegetable buns are also very engaging activities. The farm also offers local-flavored meals, preparing a variety of dishes using the fresh fruits and vegetables grown on the farm. Around Shierliao Lake (Dapi), there are many scenic restaurants and coffee shops. After leaving the farm, you can choose a scenic restaurant to dine and relax, sit back, enjoy the beautiful lake and mountain views, and savor your leisurely holiday time.
