Li Chuan Aquafarm, Shoufeng Township, Hualien County, Taiwan
Lichuan Aquafarm is the only place in Taiwan that produces the golden clams. These fresh-water clams are considered a national treasure of Taiwan because they are high in nutritional value, and in particular, extremely beneficial for the liver. The golden clams are results of advance technology whereby water quality, algae breeding and soil types are thoroughly researched.
You can enjoy picking up your own golden clams in the pond and eat them at their restaurant “Five Loaves Two Fish”. Other delicacies in the restaurant include steamed silver perch and salt-grilled tilapia. We didn’t have time nor the stomach to try any of these as we were still full from the live jumping shrimps.
