Sanxing Township is geologically distinct due to its alluvial soil, which is a key factor in the specific texture and flavor of its famous green onions.
The Sanxing green onion is characterized by its long white stalk and thinner leaves compared to standard varieties.
The farm utilizes an irrigation system derived from the pristine water sources of the nearby Lanyang River.
Beyond food, the facility demonstrates traditional farming techniques used by local Yilan farmers for generations.
