Today some young people came to visit the Farm. These 21 special guests stayed for 2 days and 1 night. These young, energetic and lovely people are: some Germans and some Taiwanese .




After  a sumptuous BBQ dinner, we gathered at the DIY Center to make sky lanterns, lighted them
and watch as it soar up to the dark sky.





The next day, we went for a tour of the Farm.

"Tio tio Tang" Young Artists Association

Toucheng Township is the head city of Yilan County. One of the main attraction is a place called:
Old Street. or "Lao Jie".
Its rich culture and historical background  encouraged these young artists to come here and contributed their talents and enriched the place much  more.

It was a pleasure for Toucheng Leisure Farm to host this group for a short visit.

Here are some photos taken at the Farm:




At the organic garden collecting okra for dinner.

They made the sky lanterns DIY


This sky lantern was so special and priceless that they decided to keep it from

They lighted some for the tradition!




The Thai artist prepared a Thai salad for our midnight snack!


And the last pose, see something different?......


See you again at Toucheng Leisure Farm!
