Nantou, Taiwan: Cingjing Farm - Green Green Grasslands

Can't sleep, come here and count some sheep of all colors and sizes!

I've been to the UK Farm in Malaysia (in Kluang), while it's pretty close to the farms that we are used to, say in Australia, the weather gives it away. Meanwhile, Cingjing Farm in Nantou, Taiwan can really transport you far, far and away. The weather (even in June), the animals, the shows, the hospitality, all work in their favour.

The farm is divided into 3 areas - Green Green Grassland (highlight: Sheep Show), Mountain View Pasture (highlight: Horsemanship Show), and Eco-zone Shoushan Park.

We were just in time to catch the Sheep Show, and they were herding the sheep up.

We couldn't see clearly from far but after the show it's sheep roaming and grazing time!

Don't ride or chase sheep! As we walked to the Horse Show, we spotted more grazing sheep and a castle of sheep (more like lambs).
