Taoyuan is renowned for its delicious juicy peaches, beautiful peach blossoms, and idyllic scenery. It has transitioned from a juicy peach-growing village to a village with a booming tourism industry featuring juicy peaches.

In addition, the village also produces lotus flowers and water dropworts.
