The good soil and fine weather here, with long hours of sunshine, make this the best area in the East Rift Valley for growing tea. The tea produced here has an extraordinarily fine flavor and the surrounding area is full of scenic beauties that are visible in the panoramic expanse of land below the plateau. A number of home-stay facilities are scattered among the tea fields. The plateau is also the site of a paragliding base at the southern end of the tourist tea plantation area; the base is 150 meters above the plain below, and its fine geographic conditions and good weather make it one of Taiwan's favorite spots for paragliding.
