OVERVIEW

Blessings from the surrounding nature have abounded in Gan-wu since ancient times. Here, the seemingly opposing elements of the mountains and sea come together and have had a profound impact on the area’s history and landscapes.

Discover how locals have lived in harmony with the nature around them over the past 100 years as you visit a ranch designed to preserve the natural landscape, meet local residents and learn about

the area’s heritage.

Get to know the everyday lives of local people, witness the blessings of the mountains and the sea first hand and create memories that will stay with you long after the day is over.
