If you come to Peinan Township in Taitung County, with its beautiful mountain scenery, in early spring, you will frequently see the following scene: baskets of atemoya line either side of the road. The overwhelming heavy fragrance of the fruit often makes visitors stop their cars and pick out one after another of the jade-green fruit to take home and try. From December to April is the high season for atemoyas.
初春時節來到山高水美的台東縣卑南鄉，常可看到這樣情景：道路兩旁擺滿了一簍簍鳳梨釋迦，碩大、濃郁的果香引得遊客停下車來，挑選一顆顆如翡翠般鮮綠的釋迦帶回去品嚐。
