Wuma Taitung Leisure Farm
Located in the valley of Yaoshan Mountain, at Zhiben, Taitung, the property covers not only a large area but also a glamorous landscape of various ecological environments, such as the ever-changing Formosan Gum forest and the stunning sodium bicarbonate spring. We welcome you to our farm, a refuge for mind and soul.
Ecological FarmOut of the respect for Mother Nature, we minimize construction and develop agroforestry to preserve the native species and provide wild-life a safer habitat. Our way of fitting into the existing eco system with multiple organic farming brings plentiful harvest of herbs, vegetables and fruits.
Wuma ResortWe partnered with a luxury hotel management group and renowned Japanese architect, Kengo Kuma, to create a premier mountain resort. It embodies the “Slow Life” pathos. We hope to inspire future guests to soak in the nature landscape, absorb the local culture, and relish in the organic produce grown on property. Kengo Kuma has received numerous awards from Japan, Italy, Finland and around the world. His design ethos focuses on rich Japanese and Zen elements with a focus on nature. His idea is to make architecture supplementary to its surrounding landscape and environment.
Eco-Environment
We maintain the existing forest’s physiognomy with low-intensity land-use and agroforestry. This aims for simultaneously bringing multiple crops and preserving the habitat of original species. By keeping a balance between development and ecological environment, our farm remains rich in biodiversity. You can see Muller's Barbet and eagle fling, Formosan macaque, Reeves’s muntjac, and squirrel running through the trees during the daytime and you may also encounter frog, firefly, and owl in the night. These ecologies make our farm a wonderful place for children’s eco-education.
Our Crops
We grow multiple crops with ecological farming. The strategy does not only sustain the biodiversity but also enables the land to better adapt to climate changes. Currently, we grow tea, coffee, herbs, Roselle, Ramtilla, Plum, Stout Camphor tree etc. on the farm.
Wuma Resort
Kengo Kuma, the master of "Weak Architecture", believes that architecture should be immersed into the environment’s background, thus gives prominence to beautiful nature and surrounding landscape. Here in Wuma resort, Kuma utilizes natural / local materials such as wood and stone to combine with water, light, and air specifically for each location. For his approach is that architecture retains its cultural role and be close to people’s mind.
The design stage has been finished; Wuma Resort is underway!
Hot Spring
At Wuma Resort, you will feel like a floating cloud as you listen to the winds whisper through the trees whilst you soak in your own private Hot Spring tub. A full relaxation of the mind, body and soul.
