Guanyin Farmers' Association launches landscape-themed souvenirs

To celebrate the upcoming "2026 Taoyuan Land Art Festival," the Guanyin Farmers' Association has introduced a line of unique souvenir products that blend local agricultural bounty with the region's distinctive landscape. The new offerings, "Dune Golden Sweet Potato Crisps" and "Tidal Rice Crisps," aim to provide visitors with a taste of Guanyin's culture and natural beauty.

The "Dune Golden Sweet Potato Crisps" are made from locally grown, friendly-cultivated "Tainong No. 57" sweet potatoes. Known for their dense texture and rich, sweet flavor, these crisps are low-temperature baked and lightly seasoned to preserve their pure taste. The packaging is inspired by the Guanyin sand dunes, featuring a transparent,镂空 (鏤空 - hollowed-out) design that evokes the rolling dunes, seamlessly integrating the product with the land art theme.

Complementing the sweet potato crisps, the "Tidal Rice Crisps" are crafted from high-quality white rice puffed and mixed with local black rice. These snacks are prepared with reduced oil and sugar, offering a crispy, guilt-free treat. The association's general manager, Jiang Xieyou, explained that the black and white rice mixture forms small cubes resembling coastal pebbles, symbolizing the layered cultural landscape of the coastal stone weirs, inviting people to experience the charm of coastal culture through taste.

The Taoyuan Land Art Festival not only invites visitors to appreciate art but also hopes to allow visitors to further understand the land, culture, and agriculture of Taoyuan's coast.

These new souvenir items are now available for purchase at several key locations. Visitors can find them at information service stations within the Taoyuan Land Art Festival venues, including the Bamboo Village Fishing Port Comprehensive Building, Xucuo Port Wetland Transfer Center, Caoluo Dune Guanyin Exhibition Hall, Yong'an Conch Hall, and Xinwu Fuxing Temple, as well as the Lotus Garden Leisure Agricultural Area. They can also be purchased directly from the Guanyin and Xinwu District Farmers' Associations.

Jiang Xieyou expressed hope that these edible souvenirs will encourage visitors to not only appreciate the coastal scenery of Taoyuan during the festival but also to take home a delicious piece of the region's identity. The initiative aims to deepen the connection between tourists, local agriculture, and the unique cultural heritage of the Guanyin coastal area.
