Fruit farms have become popular where tourists can experience the natural scenery, in addition to the fun of picking their own fruit. With now being the season of citrus tankan, let's check out the new site that can fulfill both your eyes and your belly. Looking across, you can see mountains and the Danshui River in Taipei City, Beitou District's Datun borough. You can't miss the mountains measuring 300 meters high in altitude and the citrus tankan gardens atop the mountains. This citrus fruit is in season from lunar spring to March or April, which is why it is dubbed the "year citrus." Other citrus tankans have only a sweet taste, while these tankans have also a zesty, citrusy tang. In addition, Datun citrus tankan rinds contain more citrus oil, so they are especially heavy. The citrus pulp is juicy and plump, and the fruit sells at the same price as those sold by street-side vendors, approximately 60NT dollars per catty. Visitors will also find cabbage, green onions, and other vegetables in Datun as more than 60 farming families grow crops on the mountain. To get to Datun, visitors can take Fuxing 3rd road where they can see a display of cherry blossoms. ◆ 追蹤更多華視影音及圖文新聞: 1.用Plurk追蹤華視影音及圖文新聞:追蹤 2.用Twitter追蹤華視影音及圖文新聞:追蹤
