Introduction
To avoid working at the pomelo orchard in Guanyinshan, Bali, Lin, Ping-Chang left home at the age of 18 to become an office worker. At the age of 40, he finally returned to his hometown. He spent many years thoroughly optimizing pomelos without using pesticides and chemical fertilizers. In 2011, he acquired organic certification, developing pomelo tea, vinegar, soy sauce, dishes and many other augmented products. Every March, the fragrance of pomelos in Bali spreads everywhere. Around the Dragon Boat Festival, the fruit grows in clusters. The old customers reserve pomelos early. The quality of these pomelos dominates Northern Taiwan. Accordingly, “the pomelos in Bali in Northern Taiwan and those in Madou in Southern Taiwan” enjoy an excellent reputation.
The Farm not only grows excellent quality pomelos, but contains the beautifully decorated Doris Forest Restaurant. Slowly walking up along the slope, you can see two pomelo trees about 40 years old. During the blossoming season in March and April, the place is filled with elegant fragrance. It is romantic and beautiful. Continue walking up along the stone steps between the two trees to reach the outdoor dining area. Visitors can enjoy the faraway landscape of mountains and the sea. With a sandpit and barbeque area, the Farm is ideal for family outings.
Features of Agricultural Tourism
Fruit
The roots of the pomelos are used to make soup. Pomelo tea and pomelo soy sauce are also popular products.
After the Farm became a leisure farm, the profits made from the Restaurant and processed products could support the agriculture, while agriculture supports tourism, in a virtuous circle. The Restaurant serves very unique dishes, particularly the hot pot soup made of pomelo tree roots, which tastes sweet and fragrant. Lin, Ping-Chang has also developed pomelo pig knuckles and pomelo chicken thighs. The pottery works placed on the wall are the owner’s personal interest.

All of the products are made of organic pomelos grown by the Farm, including handmade soaps and bath sachets made of pomelo leaves; popsicles and tea made of pomelos; essential oil made of peels, etc. The pomelo tea and pomelo soy sauce are popular specialties.
