Fangyuan Township has the rich coastal ecological resources, traditional fishing village and 3-section courtyard settlement. Aquaculture industry is the more developed industry in Fangyuan and it is also the only region where cattle cart is used to carry oyster in Taiwan. Fangyuan intertidal zone has the rich ecological resources and it is also the habitat of migratory birds. During the falling tide, the length of intertidal zone can reach 6km and diversified natural ecology and human landscape are the greatest wealth in this place.
Project Description: Cyberfair project mainly introduces the sightseeing, ecology and humanities in southwestern coast of Fangyuan Township while the principal line of special topic focuses on the introduction about Fangyuan intertidal zone, so that everyone can have a better understanding of the ecosystems in Fangyuan intertidal zone; meanwhile more tourists who like being close to nature are attracted to come to Fangyuan intertidal zone, experience various ecological activities and get acquainted with marine organism; then the principal line is extended from intertidal zone to sightseeing and humanities, from oysters to oyster farmers, sea cattle cart and traditional fishing village settlement, which is an example where ecology is extended to sightseeing and humanities. The local ecological resources and humanist feature are combined to make the outsiders pay attention to the little fishing village -- Fangyuan. It can not only promote the environmental awareness to protect sea but also attract tourists to experience the special culture and scenery in the southwestern coast of Changhua and drive the local economic development of Fangyuan.
