The annual 2014 Yizhu Corn Festival hits off from November 15th. Building a 12 hectares maize maze using only non-genetic modified corn has becoming more and more popular when it first began in 2012. This year, it has become more challenging when quiz and obstacles are set up inside the maze.

There are six stages in the maze. A stamp will be received after a challenge has been complete. After completing all six, a souvenir prize is available to take home with you. The activity is under full supervision with officials assisting on the watch tower, so there’s o chance of getting lost inside the maze. Besides the featured maze, corn products and gifts are available on the spot. Free corn noodle for your like on facebook. Exhibition on the local products, live cooking show, corn tasting, corn industry tours and performances too.

The maze at the moment is not high enough to block your view totally. But as the event continues the higher the corn grows, the harder the maze becomes. If you looking for good food and some quality time, welcome down to Chiayi 2014 Yizhu Corn Festival for some good time.

Note: Picking the corns in the maze in prohibited.
