Red camellias (Flower)

This beautiful flower is in full bloom at Toucheng Leisure Farm at this season. Would you like to visit us and appreciate this beauty of nature? Camellias are ornamental flower but also used to create fine, delicately flavored teas. That's why it is called "mountain tea" flower in Mandarin.

They can grow high and bloom during the winter season.

The red flower looks very attractive with the green background, just on time for the Christmas color of green and red.

Toucheng Leisure Farm is well decorated with these flowers, plus the golden kumquat and some calamansi.

Come and share our happiness!

Sunrise is one of the subjects poets talk about; photographer's compete for; songwriter's theme for a special song; a painter's inspiration for a treasured masterpiece or lover' scenery for a romantic moment.

Here in Yilan County, one of the must-see scenery is the sunrise at Turtle Mountain Island. It is just like a newly born baby in a clear dawn, a beginning of a new day.

The gradual rising of the sun is indeed a spectacular scene, one can only experience those indescribable feelings or unspoken words while admiring one of the miracles of nature.

Double rainbow seen at Toucheng Leisure Farm

A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon caused by a spectrum of light which appears in the sky when the Sun shines on to droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. Rainbows caused by sunlight always form directly opposite the Sun. (Thanks to Wikipedia for this information).



Watching a rainbow is delightful, but watching a double rainbow is double delight indeed!
A primary and secondary rainbow was spotted near the mountain at Toucheng Leisure Farm last week.
You may not notice it, but look closer, and you'll find it.
The primary rainbow is darker in color and the secondary one is faded.

The colors in a rainbow are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet in a form of an arc. That's in a primary rainbow.

But the secondary rainbow the colors are inverted, with the blue on the outside and the red in the inside.

This is a rare phenomenon and we're lucky at Toucheng Leisure Farm to have seen and discover it.

You may discover similar rare and strange discoveries at the Farm when you visit.

The Lai And Tai Families and Friends from Malaysia

Twenty six members of the Malaysian Lai and Tai Families and their friends stayed at Toucheng Leisure Farm for a two days and one night visit.

There they are after a nutritious breakfast before we toured the Farm's scenery.

Our first stop was the rice paddies and proceeded to the Farm animals area where the children enjoyed feeding the goats and saw the real wild boar!

How about a pose at one of the swings near the animals area?

At the water buffaloes area is a red cart, see? All the children and their mothers went up for a pose.

T-shirt printing is one of Toucheng Leisure Farm's DIY activities. We use leaves of the trees around with the different colorful dyes to accentuate the veins and produce a unique creation on a T-shirt.

Joey is proud to show his T-shirt, and even wear it on as soon as it was ready.

A father and daughter tandem creation, you should see it to admire the uniquely created butterfly!

After a sumptuous lunch they left the Farm and commented that staying two days is too short for a visit.

I told them to check our website: www.tcfarm.com.tw/click English regularly for the right season but make sure to reserve the rooms early for a perfect vacation.

Many people from all walks of life and nationalities has stayed at Toucheng Leisure Farm for a day, a week or more.

Radin Mas Primary School of Singapore

Singapore's Radin Mas Primary School Students and Teachers came to visit Toucheng Leisure Farm last Friday, December 2.
Twenty-eight, all grade five students and four Teachers came and participated in all the activities prepared for them.

Kilning is usually the first activity guests join after an orientation. The Farm has a special area for this activity where they have a first-hand experience of building a traditional oven used by our ancient Fathers to bake or cook sweet potatoes, corn on the cob or even the whole chicken.

After a tired afternoon, they had dinner in a BBQ style manner. Here is the photo to show their patience waiting for the "chef's" BBQ expertise.

It was rather cold outside, but the flame from the grill and the delicious aroma of the BBQ meat and vegetables did not hinder some to grill more for everyone to partake.

Although some chose to stay inside the dining room!

The night at Toucheng Leisure Farm is incomplete without the making, writing your wishes, and lighting the sky lantern.

Here are some photos taken during the activity.

First, some teachers will show them the right procedure for pasting the sky lanterns and later do-it together with the whole group.

Here are the testimonies of their successes!

Every one assembles at the Farm's square to witness the lighting, then watch the sky lantern soar up to the dark heavenly sky!

The sky lantern activity always end up with the firecrackers sound, a welcoming sight for all Singaporeans.

Would you like to share their experience?

Come to Toucheng Leisure Farm and enjoy with us these unforgettable moments.
