The magnificent canyon of Taroko National Park is famous all over the world, but many people may not know that on the mountain, 10 minutes from the Tianxiang section of Taroko, lies the first Xibao settlement in Taiwan, which is transformed by a national park combined with an organic industry.

In 2010, the Taiguan Office commissioned the Cixin Foundation to guide farmers to switch to organic farming, experiencing "mountain pig tooth mark cabbage", "Taiwan macaque leftover green pepper road", and countless wormhole leaves. in recent years, farmers have gradually accepted the concept of "eating together" with nature. Seven of the eight households in Xibao settlement have been converted to organic, and two households in nearby Luoshao have joined, with a total area of about 10 hectares. Last year, the conservation species, the yellow-billed owl, applied for a green conservation badge, hoping to further transform into an ecological village in the future.

Promote organic, resolve the antagonism between national parks and residents
