What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors appreciate the unique sight of rice paddies meeting the ocean and the charming, quirky straw sculptures. It's a free and scenic stop, especially for cyclists. However, some note the sculptures can be weathered, and the lack of shade makes it very hot during midday.
"I don‘t see anything special. When I met a warm-hearted and talkative boss, he told us that it would be best to look good in the spring!"

"Biked past it and couldn’t resist taking a photo!! Nice rice fields, but didn’t stop to take a break."

"One of the very few places you can see paddy fields and rice terrace along the coastline in Taiwan. Best time to visit: the last 2 weeks in May, and the first 2 weeks in June. Sunrise here is nice if you are able to get here before 5 am in the morning."
