Every autumn, Miaoli’s persimmon drying yards transform into a golden sea, where sunlit persimmons glow with warmth and release a delicate fruity aroma. Following traditional methods, artisans carefully peel, sun-dry, turn, and massage each persimmon, infusing them with patience and time-honored flavors. This is more than just a traditional delicacy—it is a cherished craft passed down through generations. Visit Miaoli to taste the sweet, chewy persimmons and experience the warmth of autumn and local hospitality.
