Chiayi County contains many ecosystems and natural resources with diverse terrains. Tropic of Cancer passes through Chiayi. But unlike in other regions where deserts are formed, interactions of seasonal winds and terrain produce abundant precipitation for thriving of forests and other vegetations in Taiwan. Various foods and dishes, such as high mountain tea of Alishan Township, pears of Zhuqi Township, railroad lunchbox, meat bun of Minxiong, square cookies, chicken rice, and mushroom meat soup, are ready for your hungry.
The coastal environment of Chiayi County contains various wetlands with high biodiversity, such as mudflat, sand bar, marshes, forests, aqua-cultural ponds, salt fields, lagoons; that are important habitat for many precious animals and plants. From Aoqu wetland, which is the largest wetland in Taiwan, through salt fields of Budai Township, then to the scattered ponds of aquaculture and other purposes, all compose the resident areas and foraging grounds for winter migratory birds. The great amount of sandpipers, plovers, egrets, ducks, geese, and gulls aggregate into magnificent flocks. Chia-Yi coast is also an important place to watch raptor. Ospray, harrier, Eurasian kestrel, black-shouldered kite, peregrine falcon, and black kite are all commonly seen.
