On the 3rd day at Taiwan, we had the local breakfast nearby the homestay at a stall just in front of the university. We had the egg roll 蛋饼 and homemade soya bean 豆浆 and bought sandwiches to take away as our lunch.
After breakfast we head to the Taichung station using bus and bought the package ticket at the station to go up to Nan Tou Qing Jing farm 南投清境农场 cost NT$600 which includes go and return bus ticket and entrance fee of 清境农场 青青草原.
On the way up, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery.
I thought it would be cold so brought a sweater along but it turn out I don't actually need it. It was hot when the sun comes out and it only feels cool not cold when the wind blows. I even sweat while walking there. I guess it's because it's almost summer. If you go in early spring, autumn or winter it should be cold as it's up in the mountain.
One thing that you need to watch out is the sheep poo. It's almost everywhere! Be careful not to step on them. If you wanna attract the sheep attention to have a photo with them, just buy their food from the bending machine. It looks like this.
When you shake the box they will know and they will go to you. But if you didn't give them for a long time they will go away.
Found a nice spot to take photo
castle like building
mountain view
cute little sheeps
Sheeps all around
Beside sheep, there are horses too that you can have a ride on and of course need to pay for the ride. It's just walking one round around the area.
My personal suggestion if you are planning to come here, pls rent a driver 包车 for the day or stay there for a night as a lot of our time is wasted waiting for bus and sitting in the bus. Because the bus stop at a lot of station before reaching our destination, it will take longer time. And you will be able to go more places along the way. We only manage to go one place only due to bus timetable of going down back to Taichung. The last bus for that day was 4pm. We think we will not have enough time to go to another place so we just spend our time there until the next bus at 2.30pm. Actually we planned to go to small swiss garden 小瑞士花园 but we don't have enough time. So leave for next time then. We left using the 2.30pm bus and only reach back our homestay at around 5 somthing or 6 something. We are just in time to go to the night market. We went back to our homestay and changed to lighter clothes and ready to go for food hunting.
The famous guan zhi lin da chang bao xiao chang 官之霖大肠包小肠. It's really delicious. Must try!
This is also a must try takoyaki!
red tea

abalone
this 2 also must try! one is chicken drumstick, one is fried squid inside got wrap some stuff.

So, that's roughly it for the day. We went back our homestay with a stomach full of food.
