Nokia Siemens Networks Company in Taiwan

Nokia Siemens Networks Company Taiwan's General Manager. Mr.Michael Wang, led the Group for a day getaway from office at Toucheng Farm today. What a special day! Today is Earth Day!

A very ecologically conscious Manager, he brought the whole more than 200 people to experience a Farm -atmosphere visit at Toucheng Farm

Here he is ( at the right), as they are having lunch at the Farm's dining room partaking a sumptuous meal! At the Farm, you will see these banners: Charging Day. Toucheng Farm's fresh, clean, pure air is just what they need!

Besides the Taiwanese, we have a group from Finland......

A group from India...

And from Thailand.....

After planting vegetables in the garden, they had their hands-on experience of making a traditional oven by kilning and of course tasted the hot, yellowish, delicious kilned sweet potatoes.

After lunch they have other interesting and refreshing activities at the Farm to relax and enjoy the day.

You, too, can have a day or two at Toucheng Farm, not only to relax but also to remind us of our responsibility to Mother Nature and preserve its riches.

Waiao Beach House

Waiao Beach House is owned and operated by Toucheng Farm. This Greek-style guest house stands gracefully with its front side on the coastal provincial road and its rear view is overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Here is the rear view of the house, looking straight at the famous Turtle Mountain Isle.

Here I took a group picture of some American-Taiwanese guests, who stayed for the night at the beach house. They participated all the activities of the Farm, too.

One can stroll along and play around the sandy beach...

Or count the numerous puffer fishes lying around the sand.

What is he digging at? Crabs! Did he found one?

Waiao Beach house is a perfect place for para-sailing or mountain gliding! Go down from your room and you can fly around freely! Look! I catch one flying and landing safely!

Besides mountain gliding, one can do surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, fishing or just walking on the sand.

The Waiao Service Area is just a few steps away, to serve the numerous visitors who frequent the place all year through.

With Waiao beach house, Toucheng Farm can accommodate different kinds of people with different taste or expectations.

Summer is here soon, the beach is a summer destination, Toucheng Farm can help you arrange a special summer activity you'll never forget!

Guests from many Countries - Part 1

I feel lucky working as a tour guide at Toucheng Farm. To be able to communicate (in English) with guests from different countries is indeed rewarding! To share a few information about the birds, butterflies, flowers or trees living at Toucheng Farm is an accomplishment.


Here are some example:


Cristina, whose father is German and mother is French, joined all the activities. Fishing was full of fun after she caught six fishes from the fish pond!

She also tried the stone grinding machine, and of course ate the finished product!



And climbed up the tree house........

They got more chicken eggs and Cristina chased some chickens, too!

A visit to the Chang Jiu Winery gave them a chance to taste ( except Christina, of course )many kinds of wine.

Crystal, came with her two ABC's sons Dilan and Cameroon. They draw some pictures on the heavenly lantern, and watched them soar up to the drizzling night skies!

Sr. Irene, an American Catholic nun of St. Francis of Asisi, accompanied some sixty students and their Teachers for a hands-on-experience of the rice culture and other activities. This devoted and dedicated servant of God is a consultant in educating the intellectually disabled children.

Toucheng Farm, is not only a perfect vacation venue, but also an educational school where the rice culture is one of its curriculum.

I tell you more about our weekend news....to be continued!
