Yew Chung International School Students of Hongkong

Almost one hundred students from Yew Chung International School of Hongkong accompanied by their Chinese and Western Teachers, visited Toucheng Farm last week.

These vibrant children participated all activities in the Farm. Take a look at these photos and you will have an idea what they did and see the smiles on their faces.

Do you believe they were successful in building this kiln with their bare hands?

These are the western teachers who accompanied these cute children ( all of them are 10 years of age ), to
Toucheng Farm for 2 days and 1 night.

They had the experience of making a traditional Chinese snack - steamed dumpling.

Feeding the goats was fun, too!

Pasting, folding, writing wishes on the heavenly lantern, and seeing it float up to the skies.... is a touching experience. Most of the guests were fascinated with this activity.

Toucheng Farm welcomes everyone to visit and enjoy the refreshing environment and Eco-friendly atmosphere of the Farm. Accommodations are provided to those who desire to stay for a night or more, in a reasonable price.

Rice paper butterfly

Toucheng Farm in Yilan County is an ecological paradise. Many different kinds of natural wonders are at home to this more than 100 hectares of land.


As a tour guide of the Farm, I love to explain to our foreign guests who visit the Farm, the metamorphosis of the rice paper butterfly (Idea leuconoe).
The founder and owner of Toucheng Farm Madame Cho Chen Ming, purposely planted the dog bane tree

( Parsonsia laevigata) food to the rice paper butterfly's caterpillar, so that they can live and reproduce here.

I always enjoy looking at these wonderful creatures, and much more watching the guests as their eyes open wide amazed at the sight of the red,white and black caterpillars or the golden chrysalis, especially the children.

The adult butterfly is just as lovely and wonderful in its white, black spotted and pale yellowish wings as they dances freely around the trees.

A trip to Toucheng Farm will surely enrich and refresh you. Why not try?
