六十石山-台灣壯麗的金針花山 #六十石山 #金針花 #花東縱谷

位於花蓮縣富里鄉、花東縱谷東側的六十石山，海拔約700至900公尺，是台灣著名的金針花賞花勝地。每年八、九月，漫山遍野的橙黃色金針花盛開，山坡宛如鋪上一片金色花毯，搭配雲霧繚繞與壯闊的花東縱谷景色，呈現令人難忘的自然美景。

六十石山的主要作物是金針花，不僅具有觀賞價值，也是富含營養與鐵質的傳統食材，可作為料理的配料、香料及保存食品的材料，並廣泛製成乾金針。

「六十石山」的名稱有不同說法，其中一說是早期農民種稻時，每甲土地可收成六十石稻米，因而得名。後來居民發現山區氣候與環境適合種植金針，逐漸轉型為今日著名的金針產地。每到花季，吸引大批遊客登山賞花，欣賞台灣東部令人驚嘆的山林與縱谷風

Located on the eastern flank of Taiwan’s East Rift Valley in Fuli Township, Hualien County, Sixty Stone Mountain, also known as Liushidan Mountain, is one of Taiwan’s most scenic daylily destinations. At an elevation of about 700 to 900 meters, the mountain bursts into golden-orange blooms every August and September, creating a spectacular sea of flowers overlooking the lush East Rift Valley.

The mountain is best known for its orange daylilies, which are not only beautiful but also a traditional food ingredient. Rich in nutrients and iron, dried daylilies are commonly used in Taiwanese and Chinese cuisine.

The name “Sixty Stone Mountain” has several explanations. One local tradition says that early farmers could harvest as much as 60 dan of rice per plot—more than the usual 50—giving the mountain its name. Over time, residents discovered that the area was particularly suitable for growing daylilies, transforming the mountain into the famous flower-growing region seen today.

During the blooming season, thousands of visitors come to enjoy the spectacular flower fields, misty mountain scenery, and breathtaking views of Taiwan’s East Rift Valle
