Sustainable Travel

Community Partnerships

LDC Hotels & Resorts deeply feels its social responsibility towards the symbiotic prosperity of local communities and the care for the surrounding environment and marginalized groups. We aim to establish long-lasting and steadfast relationships with community partners, collaborating on both daily tasks and long-term projects. Together, we strive to make this land and the people living on it happier and more sustainable.

Supporting Chin-ai Music in Composing Life's Melody

Established in 2014, Chin-ai Music, located in Ren'ai Township, Nantou County, is the only string orchestra in Taiwan composed of indigenous children. LDC Hotels & Resorts has long been attentive to local education in Nantou, providing economic resources and stage experiences through events like Christmas concerts to accompany these angelic melodies on their journey to the international stage. The children, fueled by their passion for music, practice diligently every day. Their perseverance bore fruit when they clinched the World Champion title in String Ensemble at the Vienna International Youth Music Festival in 2017. LDC Hotels & Resorts continues to support Chin-ai Music through action, aiming to help ensure the success of the orchestra and pass down their experiences from generation to generation, nurturing the future of indigenous communities like a continuous cultural river.

Guarding Sun Moon Lake with the Clear Lake Action

In May 2020, Sun Moon Lake experienced a severe drought, the most severe in 50 years, causing the once azure lake water to recede, revealing dry, barren soil and various debris and objects buried at the lake bottom. In response, the staff of Fleur de Chine Hotel initiated the "Clean Lake One-Mile" activity every week. From the roadside to the lakeshore, they picked up discarded plastic bags, fishing waste, cigarette butts, and broken bottles and cans. By the end of 2021, they completed a full circuit around the lake, collecting a total of 1.1 tons of garbage. To this day, Friday mornings have become a regular Clear Lake Day for the staff of Fleur de Chine Hotel, inviting guests to join them in wholeheartedly protecting this precious treasure of Sun Moon Lake.

Collaborating with Tribal Partners to Create a Suspension Bridge Dining Table

On a cool summer night, under the bright moonlight, atop the century-old Lu Ming Suspension Bridge, colleagues from LDC Hotels & Resorts, along with partners from Vakangan Hot Spring Park and local indigenous businesses in Yanping Township, Taitung, collaborated to plan three evenings of feasting. Inviting guests from all over Taiwan to admire the undulating mountains of the valley, listen to the breath of nature, and experience the blessings of the earth, they also gained insight into the food culture of the indigenous peoples. LDC Hotels & Resorts continues to deepen its roots in the local community, establishing partnerships and planning various activities to allow visitors to Yanping to experience the warmth of the tribe and take away memories filled with laughter.

Adopting Friendly Farmland to Protect Land and Ecology

The first step in LDC's sustainable agriculture work is to get closer to the source of food and preserve the surrounding ecological environment. Fleur de Chine Hotel has adopted the "Friendly Farmland" in Dou Nan, Yunlin. It is cultivated without pesticides and chemical fertilizers to ensure farmers' income and encourage more farmers to join the ranks of friendly farming. The ecological environment has also improved, with environmental indicators such as the Crested Ibis and Black Kite appearing one after another. Chefs from the hotel also visit the site to learn about planting and harvesting, as well as maintaining the fields, and then bring the harvested rice back to the hotel's restaurant for guests to taste the healthy flavors.
