This morning, we woke up early and had a yummy Taiwanese style breakfast right below our minsu. The van we hired then arrived on time to bring us up to the Qing Jing, another famous attraction in Taiwan.
It was hubby and my 2nd time at the Qing Jing. We were there years ago on our grad trip. And my impression of the place was good. It was no wonder why tourists like the place! The ride up was also very comfortable and cosy! Look at how we dumped our bags and lay on the seats!
We arrived on schedule about an hour plus later and checked into our accommodation at 见晴山庄. Without wasting much time, we deposited our luggage and headed for the Qing Jing Farm. It was quite a walking distance away (uphill to be exact), hence, we decided to take a ride up to save time.
My little niece loves animals. Even though she was a small girl and the sheep are probably around her height on fours, she was not afraid of them at all. I mean, who doesn’t like to see the sheep and goats graze freely on a vast patch of grassland. I do too! But I just didn’t like to have skin-to-fur contact! So, I was happy to take photos for them! For those who don’t mind contact with the animals, you could feed them too!
We did some horse-riding and had lunch at the tentage between the 2 farm exits. It’s actually the same farm (uses the same tickets) but you can exit to have some meals. We then continued ‘chasing’ the animals for more photos.
At the end of the farm, there was a performance area. Hubby and I strolled ahead to check out the performance timing. We had watched the performance during our previous trip. But this time, the performance had just ended. So, we went to take photos with the pony instead.
From there, we took 487 steps (downhill thankfully!) and reached the road. I was sure my sister’s legs turned wobbly by the time she was down. If you don’t wish to climb 487 steps up, I would suggest you follow our path, start from the higher part of the farm and walk back down.
We decided to visit the Little Swiss Garden before heading back to rest. It was complimentary, courtesy our of minsu owner. So, we thought we could just go take a look. It was not a big place and could be completed within 30 minutes.

We had dinner at our minsu which was already included in the cost of our stay. Our rooms had a nice four-poster bed, and the windows faced the east. I could attempt to catch the sunrise, if I could actually wake up in time for it. That’s if….
