Today, 57 pupils and 10 Teachers from 5 different schools of Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan, visited Toucheng Farm. They will stay for the 3days and 2 nights package.All the children are 11 years of age and are grade 5 pupils.
All of them are encourage to speak Mandarin at all times and participate in all the suggested activities planned.
Here are some photos taken the first day they toured the Farm.
First they learned how to make a kiln, a traditional oven used by our farmers in the ancient times and today many guests enjoy making it and roast sweet potatoes, eggs or even the whole chicken and you should taste the delicious flavor, its unforgettable!
Then a walk at the rice paddies and feel the green around you is something to talk about. How the rice we eat grow and the hardships experienced by our dear farmers in the process.
A tour of Toucheng Farm is incomplete without seeing and feeling the mud walls, ancient Chinese matrimonial bed, etc..of the Mud Hut. It is a different atmosphere to touch and listen to our Tour guides as they narrate the erecting of this house so intricate and intelligently built by our forefathers! It is a replica of where they lived, rested, and slept hundred of years ago.
This photo was taken outside the mud house after which they went back to the main building for fishing and outdoor BBQ party.
More pictures will be posted at the photo album to give you more information of their visit.
Toucheng Farm is also an experimental School where students can learn by seeing, touching, tasting or even planting vegetables. If you are interested, please visit our website: wwwtcfarm.com.tw . You may call us (03977222.
