Fishery and salt production thrived in Budai since the Qing dynasty, and sacks loaded with fish and salt constituted a common sight in the glorious past. In 1824, the Zhounan Salt Field was built in the heyday of Taiwanese salt fields. However, the practice of sun-drying salt was abandoned in 2002 as Taiwan replaced domestically produced salt with imports. In an effort to reintroduce Budai’s cultural heritage based on salt fields, the Budaizui Cultural Association breathed life into the Zhounan Salt Field according to a vision of “happiness-infused salt fields in a heart-warming salt village,” and a sustainability strategy centered on “environmental education and event industry.” Having lain idle for 6 years, the Zhounan Salt Field is now a combination of salt production, salt field-oriented lifestyle and an ecological system. Visitors to this cultural, tourist and educational spot can experience, with their own hands and feet, both the salt field’s former essence and its new charm.
