Chutzu Lake Vegetable Farm is situated in the Hutien Valley between Tatun Mountain, Chihsing Mountain, and Little Kuanyin Mountain. About 600 meters (1,969 feets) above sea level, this area has a relatively moderate climate and is thus well-suited to growing high-altitude vegetables such as cabbage, tomatoes, green peppers, and other summer vegetables. During the Japanese occupation period, Chutzuhu was chosen as a site for experimental rice cultivation, which is today’s Penglai rice. But since 1971, cultivation of Arum lilies has replaced rice as the main crop. Increasingly, farmers there are shifting to more profitable flowers and potted plants, including azaleas and camellias, as well as pine, plum, and cherry trees. The road along which these are sold is also a great place for sightseeing.
How to go there :
The Taiwan Bus Co.’s Yangchin Line leaves for Chutzu Lake from the Kungpao Building on Kungyuan Rd at Taipei City downtown. Take the left fork off the highway at the MP station to the farms.
