Farm's New Activity ( Birdie call play pen - PA )

A new activity has been introduced in the Farm to make you feel challenged and fulfilled.

But, the best is your own personal experience and unforgettable memories during the moment

up the tree and into the top!

Nocturnal activities at the Farm

Night life at Toucheng Leisure Farm is as fun as the night markets in Taiwan!

Imagine yourself dancing with the music or munching the crunchy meat warm from the BBQ grill.

 

 

 

 

Students and guests as well, partake the bonfire to light up the dark night, and sway your hips

with everybody to the music.

 

 

 

The light of the night is the burning campfire gathered from woods of the forest after a "perfect storm".

Besides entertaining the guests, we recycle these woods and let them return to nature.

 

 

 

 

Everyone has fun and forget the day's troubles and sleep soundly through the night.

 

At Toucheng Leisure Farm, your days or nights are well entertained!
