Chishang charm: cycling through rice paddies

We cycled through Chishang’s lush rice paddies on car‑free roads, visited the Rice Village Museum and enjoyed quiet moments watching farmers at work. The kids loved tasting freshly cooked rice and learning how this staple food is grown and harvested.

Family travel tip: Rent bikes with baskets for snacks, visit during harvest season for golden fields and pack hats and sunscreen.
