Tianliao's Badlands: Liang Shu-ting Leads the Way

　“Tianliao features more than just Moon World,” says Liang Shu-ting. To promote her hometown and its local culture, she started the Moon World Farmer shop. It is not only a breakfast shop, but also serves as a hub for local tourism and regional revitalization. She leads visitors to explore Tianliao and enjoy farming experiences, DIY handicrafts activities, community tours, and other events which connect the human and ecological aspects of Tianliao.

　The shop promotes various interactive local tours. In addition to introducing the special badland landscape of Moon World, visitors can also visit the area's vegetable and fruit production areas. The highly alkaline soil is rich in sodium and magnesium, and the fruits grown are particularly sweet. After visitors pick some along the way, the breakfast shop is suddenly transformed into a DIY kitchen space. 

  These are Moon World Farmer's recommended routes:  

Mudstone Badlands

　If you carefully observe the mudstone badlands, you will find that the muddy material has a slight blue-gray tint, so it is also known as blue-gray mudstone. When viewed from the side, the surface of the mudstone displays a layer of silvery-white crystal reflections that shine with salt. This is why people gave this special landform full of blue-gray mudstone a romantic name: Moon World. 

Wushanding Mud Volcano

　Roughly 3.5m in height, Wushanding Mud Volcano is the highest cone-shaped mud volcano in Taiwan. Underground gas pushes mud to the surface along fissures created by the Cishan geological fault, creating this volcano-like mud-spewing feature. The mud from the cone flows out slowly, forming a river-like natural texture on the surface.

Erren River Agriculture Field (Seasonal)

　Each October, after the end of the typhoon season, until April of the following year, farmers cultivate the banks of the Erren River. The soil deposited by the meandering river is not only unusually fertile, but also infested by fewer pests. Farmers plant vegetables, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes, corn, and other crops here. This annual cycle lasts until the following rainy season, when the riversides are once again flooded.

梁舒婷帶路 探索田寮惡地

　　「田寮不只有月世界！」梁舒婷說。為推廣家鄉特色及在地文化，她創立既是早餐店，也是在地旅遊與地方創生基地的「惡地農夫工作室」帶著民眾探索田寮，並結合農務體驗、DIY手作、社區導覽等活動，串連起田寮的人文與生態。

　　工作室規劃許多充滿互動性的在地導覽，除介紹月世界的特殊惡地景觀，也走訪惡地蔬果產地，高鹼性的泥土富含鈉和鎂，長出的水果特別甜美！沿途順手採摘一些作物，早餐店頓時化身為DIY廚房空間。

█ 惡地農夫工作室路線推薦：

泥岩惡地地景

　　仔細觀察泥岩惡地，組成的泥岩帶點青灰色，因此被稱為青灰泥岩。泥岩從側面看表面會有一層閃耀出鹽分的銀白結晶反光，人們給充斥青灰泥岩的地貌環境一個浪漫名稱「月世界」。

烏山頂泥火山

　　「烏山頂泥火山」是全臺最高的錐形泥火山，高約3.5公尺，由於地底下的氣體沿著旗山斷層造成的裂隙將泥漿推到地表，於是在地表形成一個像火山的泥火山。泥火錐湧出的泥漿緩緩流出，在地表形成河流般的自然紋理。

二仁溪河灘地農業區（季節限定）

　　每年10月至次年4月，農民在九月颱風季過後，開始到在二仁溪畔耕種。由於二仁溪曲流堆積處形成沃土，經溪水淘洗的土壤也少蟲害，農民種植蔬菜、地瓜、南瓜、番茄、玉米等作物，直到次年雨季來臨，溪畔再度被淹沒，形成年復一年的循環。
