Exploring Leisure Farms around Taiwan

BY CK Lam

The month of June was designated for a trip to Taiwan, a country famous for its bustling cities, leisure farms and its night market offerings of street food! Together with several journalist, we headed off on a fun six days five nights trip exploring the natural beauty of Taiwan’s Leisure Farms, their attractions and food.

We started our trip with a comfortable Dragon Air flight from Penang to Hong Kong before transiting with Cathay Pacific Airways to Taipei Taoyuan Airport. The first county we stopped by was Yilan, home to many leisure farms such as San Fu Leisure Farm, Toucheng Leisure Farm and Agrioz Museum & Cafe.

At San Fu Leisure Farm  三富休閒農 situated near Renshan Botanical Garden, accommodation was comfortable with basic amenities though a little dated. The night at the farm’s sprawling landscaped garden, complete with a koi pond had us getting up close and personal with multiple species including frogs, spiders, and butterflies.

The next morning we took a drive over to Agrioz Museum & Cafe in Yilan. Opened in 2010, the major highlight of this place is the kumquat. Also known as golden tangarine, the kumquat taste is bittersweet.

A trip to Sheipa Leisure Farm is an exceptional experience for anyone seeking a few days off in the crisp, cool mountain. Situated in Wufeng Township in Hsinchu, it is one of Taiwan’s most highly situated destinations.

The drive up was filled with gorgeous views but the road could prove to be very winding for some. With an altitude of 1,923 meters, it offers splendid Sheipa mountains, sea of clouds, starry sky, and beautiful natural sceneries. Its observation deck with panoramic view of the surrounding is a great place to catch the sunset or marvel at the night sky.
