The famed Dajing Mountain Scenic Area’s most celebrated attraction is the Daijingshan Leisure Resort, whose on-site restaurant consistently impresses diners with the proprietor’s versatile culinary skills. Every time guests climb the mountain, they are met with a delightful surprise, especially the ever-appetizing “White Slaughtered Earth Chicken.” With its crispy, refreshing skin and sweet, non-greasy meat, this dish has become a staple order for seasoned travelers. The secret to the chicken’s exceptional flavor lies in the owner, Jian Kunying’s selection of six-month-old “Corn Chickens” raised exclusively on a corn-based diet in the mountains. No special cooking techniques are required—just simmer in cold water for forty-five minutes, season with salt upon removal from the pot, and you have a heavenly, naturally delicious, and healthy dish. In addition to the white sliced chicken, the owner’s skill with “Scallion‑Sautéed Mountain Spring Water Tofu” leaves many first‑time visitors moved by its uniquely silky texture. The resort’s set menu starts at NT$2,000 per table, featuring six classic dishes and a soup. The organic vegetables served are both healthy and nutritious; be sure to order the stir‑fried cabbage and mountain celery. For those wishing to boost the well‑being of older guests, don’t forget the “Tomorrow Leaf Braised Chicken,” another of the proprietor’s specialties. After the meal, you can ask the owner—who also volunteers as a guide—to take you on a tour of Dajing Mountain, leaving you with full‑throttle joyous memories. (Source: Chiayi County Tourism Website)
