Naro Tribe, Hengshan, Hsinchu County - the public is welcome to attend the Calendula event.

In the Naro Tribe of Jianshi Township, under the jurisdiction of the Hengshan Township Farmers' Association in Hsinchu County, since the 95th year of the Republic of China, the area planted with herbs has reached 13 hectares, with dozens of varieties including rosemary, lavender, mint, chamomile, and stevia. That is why the Naro Tribe is known as the Golden Herb Tribe. Since the 100th year of the Republic of China, the Naro Bay Leisure Agriculture Area has grown about 3 hectares of calendula, with the peak production season from March to May each year. Calendula has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects; its roots can promote the flow of qi and blood circulation, cool the blood, and stop bleeding; its flowers are rich in the mineral phosphorus and vitamin C, and are also rich in lutein, which can improve eyesight and protect the eyes. Ma bamboo shoots are also a specialty of the Naro Tribe, with the production season in April and May each year. A series of calendula events featuring herb industry marketing and agricultural product sales is being specially held to help the tribe with sales and to expand the herb industry, encourage tourists to enter the tribe and spend money, increase local income, and improve the quality of life.
