Taiwan Trip: Cingjing Farm清境農場


In Autumn 2015, we visited Cingjing from Taipei and stay 1 night at Cingjing. Then continue to Sun Moon Lake by bus from Cingjing. Blog for Sun Moon Lake will be posting soon.

Getting to Cingjing:
By Bus: Take OK Bus for around 4 hours to Cingjing from 3rd East Gate Taipei Main Station. The bus ticket can be purchased online at OK Bus website.
The bus will alight at your hotel at Cingjing. But at that time, due our hotel was quite far from Cingjing (around 20 minutes drive), so we alight at Cingjing Tourist Centre and put our luggage there.

Getting around Cingjing:
By car: This is the best option to travel around Cingjing, to save the bus waiting time.
By public transportation: I choose this option, although the bus is limited but there are plenty of taxis around. We divided the taxi cost to 4 people, so it is quite cheap.

Small Swiss Garden
Nothing much in this small garden. I think 30 minutes are enough for picture taking. Entrance fee was NTD 120

Carton King
Carton King is located just beside Small Swiss Garden. It is a famous carton store. Everything in this store is made from carton.
There is also a carton themed restaurant in second floor.

Green Green Grassland 清境青青草原區
Yeah I love the place here, nice scenery with nice air.


There are plenty of cute sheep here, and also their poo are everywhere.

Old England
After finished strolling aroung the green green grassland, we took taxi to Old England for tea time. But unfortunately, it was 5pm when we arrived there, and the tea time was over. So we only took picture at Old England.

Cingjing Festival
Coincidently, there was a fire festival during our visit at Cingjing. It was kind like traditional dance with fire. I forgot the name of the festival. There was food bazaar and some souvenirs also.

Qingjing Home of Fireflies 螢火蟲的故鄉
After we watched the festival, the hotel car fetched us to took our luggage at Tourist Centre and then heading to the Minshu. Although this minshu is abit far from Cingjing, but this is not a problem, as the owner fetched us from Cingjing to the minshu.
 
The owner is a Taiwanese, very friendly but do not speak English
Below is the bed room. The space is very big. There is also a living room and 2 bathrooms.

The next day, we travelled to Sun Moon Lake from Cingjing. The owner drove us from our minshu to the meet up point. The blog for Sun Moon Lake will be posting soon.

Roadtrip to the Best of Tasmania

Image
Tasmania, an isolated island located in the southern coast of Australia. Tasmania is a quite state. Wherever you go, you can easily have a photo done without any photobomb. During my roadtrip around the Tasmania, I saw more animals than human. lol, but true, it is known for the wildness area. The best way to travel around Tasmania is by car. There are many car rental available online or even in the airport. Without a car, traveling around Tasmania is still possible, but very time consuming and not convenience. For solo traveler, there are options such as take public transportation and engage with local tour. Public transportations are available is some places, but more time consuming. Some places are not accessible by public transportation. If so, then you have to engage with local tour, but it can be expensive. So how long is the sufficient time traveling around Tasmania? It actually depends on where you want to visit. This blog is to share my favorite activities or places ...
