The Xinsan Leisure Agriculture Area is located south of Zhuangwei Township, at the confluence of the Lanyang River and the Yilan River before they flow into the ocean. The Meifu Canal also runs through the area, which is known for its "spring scallions, summer melons, autumn birds, and winter garlic." The area is particularly famous for its hamimelons. The reason why the hamimelons are so delicious is due to the sandy soil and good drainage in the area, which is suitable for the growth of hamimelons. The area also receives abundant sunlight, has a large diurnal temperature range, and is influenced by the oceanic climate, making the hamimelons grown here fragrant and sweet. As a result, the area is known as the "hometown of hamimelons." When driving through the agriculture area, you can often see signs that read "hometown of hamimelons" standing by the road.
Roll up your sleeves, grasp the vine, and savor the sweetness of a ripe melon. Experience the authentic flavor of local ingredients and revisit the simplicity and beauty of rural life. The heavens have given Yilan's Zhuangwei a great gift! The confluence of the Lanyang River and the Pacific Ocean brings in saline and fresh water rich in microelements, combined with the well-drained sandy soil and the climate with a large diurnal temperature range in spring and summer due to the Snow Mountain range. This makes it ideal for growing melons, earning the area the reputation as the "hometown of hamimelons."
The Xinsan Leisure Agriculture Area in southern Zhuangwei utilizes its fruit production and the beautiful green paddy fields to offer activities such as fruit-picking and water resource exploration, inviting visitors to experience the simplicity of the rural area, its natural ecology, rich agricultural products, and the warmth of the farming families.
