Douliu, Gukeng and Linnei have each organized different themed activities for this holiday, creating a new food production network, industries ranging from agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, agricultural processing, catering to tourism. With a goal of driving tourism, the government has formed an alliance with this network, promoting Yunlin’s local food and culture.
