Cingjing Farm | Introduction

Cingjing Farm contains a mixture of natural scenery and cultural heritage.

There’re lots of plants on Cingjing Farm. For example, Green Maple is a Taiwanese endemic species and will turn into an enchanting orange color in winter time. Taiwan Red Cypress, a Taiwanese endemic species as well, is a relict from the Ice Age, and the wood scented uniquely. Of course a variety of charming flowers will not be left behind.

Moreover, the lively animals welcome you as well, such as all kinds of butterflies and birds. However, the most lovely Barbado Sheep is the main character of Cingjing Farm. Admire these natural products along the featured hiking trails on Cingjing Farm!

Cingjing is also home to a Yunnan-Burmese community. In the early 1960s, soldiers and their families who had retreated from Yunnan to the Thai–Burmese border – including Bai Yi (擺夷, Dai) people and other ethnic minorities from Yunnan – resettled here and opened up the land. Their heritage lives on in Yunnan-style dishes, traditional costumes and dances, and the annual Cingjing Torch Festival, usually held in late October, with a long-table feast in Bowang New Village. Let’s immerse ourselves in this unique culture together!
