8.1 Cingjing Farm 清境农场

After having our delicious lunch，our homestay boss drive us down to the Cingjing Farm(清境农场) . Entrance free is $60 with the youth card. (np$80)


We start walking on the green green grass farm. Enjoying these lovely sheep.






Those sheep are so busy eating grass non stop.




Unique species of black sheep, only 2 in the farm.


Pony around the farm.


Those sheep are very hungry. We brought their food and feed them. After eating the food from our hand, the next immediate action was bending down and start eating grass.

It is fun and funny feeding them.




The cutest animal on the farm are these lamb.



After the lamb and sheep park, there is a section on goat park, butterfly park, and other animals park. We wasn't in a great interest and we just walk pass by.

We pass by the Cingjing Vistor Center and when in for food trying and souvenirs.

Next we reach a stairs of pathway (步步高升步道). We look down from the stairs and was wondering to walk down 500 steps or to choose to walk the hill road beside the stairs.

Our last choice was climbing down the stairs and we are glad we made the correct selection. Look on the right hand side of the picture. Such a long and windy road to walk down.

We then reach a small garden beside the 7-11 called 小瑞士花园. We didn't enter the park as the homestay boss told us that is wasn't that exciting inside.

There is a huge 7-11 beside the 小瑞士花园, selling 7-11 own mascot and goodies.

Another 7-11 opposite the road. So many 7-11 in Taiwan. When we was in Kaohsiung, there is 3 shops of 7-11 in the same road. Gosh~!

There are some beautiful shops around 7-11。

8.0 Cingjing Farm 清境农场 + 觀星園 Starry House

We headed to Cingjing Farm(清境农场) early next morning

Transport:
Take a bus from Sun Moon Lake(日月潭) to Puli(埔里)， then take another bus to Cingjing. You can get the bus time table from the Tourist Center.


We reach the Cingjing tourist center around 11am. I called up our homestay person in charge to fetch us.


This is where we stay at Cingjing - 觀星園 starry house. It is the most recommended homestay on my whole trip at Taiwan. Room price $1750 per on Friday night. This price includes free transportation around Cingjing area, breakfast and dinner from the homestay.

The boss was kind enough to upgrade our room to a larger 4 person room. We can see the beautiful view of Cingjing town from our room.

Some interior of the living area of the homestay, full with flower and home deco.





The night view we took from our room.


We reach at the homestay at lunch time. The homestay boss was kind enough to cook us lunch.

He told us he will cook some noodle for us as lunch. We think that he will cook those instant noodle for us, we waited for more then half hour and he came out with these lovely lunch set- mushroom spaghetti and corn soup. And it is free of charge. Plus the coffee and tea too.




Our dinner was delicious too, we have this famous sour vegetable steamboat (酸白菜火锅) which are their famous meal. This meal was very filling too.




That night was very cold. The bed have a sheet of heater and both of us are not willingly we step down the bed that night. The heater sheet has made us a pleasant night stay at there.

Next morning breakfast was well served too. Both the boss and the lady boss really treat us as their guest and served us the best.



Al thought this the most expensive room price that I paid in Taiwan. But to me, it was the worth what I paid for in terms of the service, food and transportation they provide.
