Taitung’s rich marine life, natural coastal landscape, indigenous culture and slow lifestyle have made the area one of Taiwan’s most popular tourist destinations. With the ocean to the east and high mountains in the west, Taitung has a rich ecology and variety of high quality agricultural produce, including rice, tea, daylilies, sugar apples, smoked skipjack tuna and marlin.

Taitung is also the main gateway to Green Island and Orchid Island, known as “pearls of the world”.

Among other subjects in her presentation, the magistrate will talk about organic agriculture, sports tourism, a slow lifestyle and CSR.
