Not only does he avoid pesticides and chemical fertilizers, but he also emphasizes biodiversity in the fields. Catfish in the fields help eat snails; lush wild grasses provide habitats for water birds to build nests; and of course, there are snakes and various insects, creating a small ecosystem. __The fields were certified by the Green Mark for the conservation of the endangered painted snipe this year.__ In Puli, mentioning Shou-an's water bamboo is a guarantee of quality. The couple is meticulous about product details and grading, which has led to many aesthetically imperfect but equally delicious bamboo shoots. At the end of the season, they are transformed into water bamboo fries loved by all ages, seasoned with just a pinch of salt, inviting you to taste the pure sweetness of water bamboo irrigated by Puli's waters. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52505872770_e876e3449d_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52505838060_57149e39eb_c.jpg **■ Protecting the Pure Land of Century-Old Tea Trees in Sun Moon Lake** __Guo Fang Tea in Sun Moon Lake boasts thousands of native tea trees.__ __Eco-friendly grown purple-bud mountain tea offers a deep, rich floral aroma.__ The native mountain tea in Sun Moon Lake produces new buds in summer that are particularly purplish-red, possessing the deep, rich aroma of this soil. Since they started processing their own tea, __the tea garden has been free of pesticides for years and is currently in the process of organic certification__. In the tea garden, one can see small green leafhoppers, which only thrive in pure, unpolluted environments, flying around when the tea trees are gently touched. The tea leaves nibbled by these leafhoppers develop a unique honey fragrance. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52505838065_68a4e03b6a_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52504875207_b79fc168a3_c.jpg **■ Green Emeralds Hanging on Trees** __Zhen Cai Farm at the foot of Niu Mian Mountain in Puli,__ __A small garden bustling with activity throughout the seasons.__ Farming alongside her father since childhood, she began organic farming early on. Although she now manages a small guava orchard, she naturally cultivates it to eco-friendly standards. Due to eco-friendly farming methods, more time is spent on manual weeding, pest control, and pruning. Aunt Hui-Zhen is always busy in the orchard. However, during breaks from farm work, she enjoys making dried guava to share with friends and family. __The dried guava, lightly flavored with licorice, and preserved with a little salt and sugar before being dried, retains the healthy original flavor of the fruit.__ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52806003214_94fc62bb84_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52806151340_35c622c752_c.jpg **■ Chrysanthemum Fields Coexisting with Wildflowers and Weeds** __Pesticide-free chrysanthemum tea throughout the entire process__ The Zhuzai Mountain chrysanthemum fields, jointly cultivated by young farmers Chen Fu-min and Zhan Yu-chen, use grass-cultivation methods, insisting on not using pesticides or herbicides. During the harvest season, they gather friends and family to pick the flowers by hand, which are then dried to become safe-to-brew ecological chrysanthemum tea. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52858042349_a86be91c21_c.jpg **A single eco-friendly thought, backed by long-term perseverance,** **Returning life to the land, we return to the land.** A single eco-friendly thought, backed by long-term perseverance, Insisting on no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, no herbicides, believing in the natural cycle of treating the land kindly, We discover frogs on trees, insects among the leaves, birds in the paddy fields, Because they are the guardians of the land, the original inhabitants have returned.
