In recent years, Taiwanese have become very environmentally-conscientious, and sustainable tourism has come to obtain ever more attention, with modern tourists and travelers beginning to emphasize how their travels impact the places they visit, and engage in positive action to make favorable changes. Sustainable tourism is not only about the ecological environment, but also involves bringing positive impacts and influences on the local culture and economy.

Fleur de Chine considers environmental sustainability as one of our operating principles for which we have designed our very own Sustainability Declaration, integrating our guests, employees, cooperative partners, local residents, and environmental factors as indicators for progress, as we pursue pragmatic efforts and actions to support environmental protection, while also deploying our Sustainability Working Group to ensure the hotel’s sustainable operations.

We have only one planet earth ! We invite each of you to join Fleur de Chine as we Go Green, and implement these ideals from the things we eat, wear, enjoy, or while traveling !

Let us share a few moments to discuss Fleur de Chine’s sustainability facilities, with the aim of ensuring that for every environmentally-friendly and sound practice. You will be able to join with us in a like-minded spirit to protect Sun Moon Lake, and ensure the beautiful environs of Sun Moon Lake can always continue to be shared with ever more people.

[ Our organic soil is self-produced (organic fertilizer) ]

Fleur de Chine is dedicated to the spirit of sustainable tourism, and we ensure optimal resource circularity, re-use, and recycling. The hotel’s excess foods are shredded and dried, then fermented to produce organic soil fertilizer, which we use in the hotel’s gardens and plantings, the DiDi vegetable gardening lab, succulent potted plantings, and DIY activities. We also provide this organic soil to local farmers and employees, through resource sharing. These help reduce any waste, and advance our circular economy and realize our corporate social responsibilities.

[ Energy saving and carbon reduction ]

Environmental Protection is a corporate social responsibility which Fleur de Chine Hotel has long upheld, and along with energy savings and carbon reduction which must begin with each of us. We invite you to join together with us. We hope to reduce pollution from washing disposable products and concomitantly reduce the damage to our planet earth.

Kindly take showers instead of baths and reduce any need to change towels, bath towels, bed sheets and duvet covers. If you must use a sink for an extended time, please close the drain or use a container to collect water and turn off lights to avoid wasting resources.

[ Water saving measures ]

To help protect the beautiful scenery of Sun Moon Lake, Fleur de Chine has adopted certified water saving equipment, and uses recaptured wastewater to irrigate our plantings, while we use recaptured hot springs waters in our landscape fountains, scenic pools, and ecological pools.

We invite you to responsively engage in our three steps to save water during your stay with us: use a cup of water when you brush your teeth, turn water off when applying soap as you prepare to wash your hands, and use the drain closed when you wash your face, to help us work together to protect Sun Moon Lake.
