Singapore School of the Arts (SOTA)

School of the Arts, Singapore Students and Teachers stayed at Toucheng Leisure Farm for a two-days and one night visit.

They arrived in the afternoon of Nov. 1st and left the next day.

Their first activity was a sumptuous Barbecue dinner DIY, then proceeded to the make some sky lanterns, lighted it and watched them as it soar up to the night sky.

Every one went to their rooms and slept.

The next day after breakfast, they toured around the Farm, here are some photos taken during their
stay.

Feeding water buffaloes and goats  is one of the memorable experiences one can have while visiting our Farm.

Transplanting rice seedlings in the rice paddies barefooted is an 

extraordinary feeling!

We had some printing activity using leaves on a green bag.

And many other exciting moments at Toucheng Leisure Farm!

Last year around this time, others students of SOTA also came for a visit.

Hopefully we will see them again next year and every year!

"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.

During the BBQ dinner.

They made the sky lanterns DIY

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

"fire".

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!
