GoldenMuseum is being planned. In the future, it will be a site of environment education and ecotourism. Based on the idea of geopark and spirit of ecotourism, this study try to formulate an ecotourism agenda for Chin-Kua-Shih area. I used two methods to collect data. One is in-depth interview. I interviewed local scenic area administration, stakeholders, try to understand their attitudes and the roles they play. The other is questionnaire survey, to collect the need and expectation of tourists and the opinion, attitude of local residents. This study selected 19 sites in the Chin-Kua-Shih area to visit, and formulated an ecotourism tour agenda. In conclusion, the study suggests that the Chin-Kua-Shih area is suitable to develop ecotourism. Related plans should be compatible, including the management plan, interpretive plan, the facilities improvement of sites, and build up the cooperative and interchangeable channel between the residents, stakeholders and the related government units.
