Nantou, Taiwan: Cingjing Farm - Carton King and Swiss Garden

My first encounter with a selfie stick or monopod back in 2013. It is funny to see others using it, but it turns out to be very useful when you are using it, so ignore the naysayers!

After checking out the Visitors' Centre, we popped by the Carton King and Swiss Garden. What we expected? Lots of carton boxes. What we didn't expect? Ice-cream and some "wildlife" (including a cat in a carton train!).

I love the idea about making Art from recycled carton boxes!

P.S. Carton King's food is too expensive...

Then over to the Swiss Garden for ice-cream and more photo opportunities (theme is pinwheels!)
