DAY1 MORNING
Dalin Community
Having acquired Cittaslow International certification, and with assistance from the local county government in developing the characteristics and cultivating the stories of the community and local stores, the various attractions in Dalin Community align perfectly with the concept of environmental consciousness and ecosystem maintenance, with its solar powered illuminating heater and rainwater recycling system, enabling sustainable environmental resources to achieve true environmental friendliness. In recent years, the Community has grown to become a popular destination for global corporate incentivized travel. (English language tours need to be reserved in advance.)
A 30-minute guided tour will introduce the core spirit of the slow city of Dalin Community, entering into the daily lives of local residents. Next is a 1-hour local scenery painting experience at the famous Wan Guo Palais Theatre. Combined with gameplay, guests are immersed in the local spirit of helping one another while exercising their own strengths at the same time. The completed works are kept on-site to be admired by subsequent visitors. Aside from providing greater employment and service opportunities, cultivating local neighborhood guided tour volunteers can ensure that the next generation acquires the knowledge and skills required for sustainable development and the contribution of culture to sustainable development.
