Booked a 4D3N stay this time as our kids could not forget how much they enjoyed it the first time 3 years ago.
The place is huge, with lots of animals (like goats, buffalos, chicken), play ground, herb garden, a gurgling stream, a very pretty cafe called Green Bar and even a mandarin orange orchard.
There is also a large eco pond with lots of tadpoles, fishes ducks and visiting birds where kids can have hours of fun feeding them.
In the morning, there are organised tours of the farm. We had the privilege of joining one conducted by an ex school principal. He was a very knowledgeable and introduced the rich fauna & flora found on the farm. He even shared the recent problem of a wild mongoose attacking their raised chicken and showed us places where wild boars had rummaged.
Our tummies did not have a chance to rest during our 4-day stay. All 3 meals of the day were included with buffet of traditional Chinese food cooked grandma (阿嬤) style, like oiled rice (油饭), 刈包, vinegar pork trotters, pork with preserved vegetables, steamed chicken, etc. There were also always at least 4 types of snacks like aiyu jelly, green beans and at least 2 types of noodle soup lined up outside the cafeteria.
The staff were also very efficient and friendly. All my emails were replied promptly in English. They even helped to arrange extra activities like watering plants, 搓汤圆 roll tangyuan and picking up leaves for my active kids.
This is a fantastic place for young & energetic kids where they can explore the place safely, even for 4 days in a row without getting bored. As the WiFi is not strong here, they had no chance to use their media pads (which I am not complaining. It's a true sanctuary away from the bustling city where we can live...

Read moreMy friend and I stayed in Toucheng leisure farm for 3 days and 2 nights. We decided to come here to take a rest and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Our room was located in a building on the hillside so there were a few stairs to go up but when I got into the room I was very impressed because the space was very clean and private. It had a small terrace with a scenic view which was good for getting some fresh air in the morning. There was even a view from one of the washrooms. This room had 2 floors and 2 double bed in each floor and 2 washrooms.The bed was big enough for 2 people and it was very comfortable --not too soft and not too hard.The reception staff were very friendly and accommodating despite the slight language barrier. At the dining hall they served a wide selection of delicious and healthy food using organic vegetables planted by the farm. I had a...
