First and foremost, Cingjing Veterans Farm is not a farm. It is a scenic area at 1750 above sea-level with various tourist projects such as the Green Green Grassland, Small Swiss Garden, a recreation centre for tourists, etc. Some people might label this place a "tourist trap". I will not refute that claim, even though I personally enjoyed the one night stay at Cingjing Farm. And the kudos go to the fabulous guesthouse we stayed at - 星光流域 <http://sunping.nantou.com.tw/?ptype=info>. I made reservation for this guesthouse online after researching the huge array of accommodation in Cingjing Farm. I finally settled for this one because it is situated higher up and away from the 'hustle and bustle' of the area. In fact, they are located within an old village called Bo Wang Xin Cun <博望新村> But the biggest draw of 星光流域 has to be their rooms.

Our room sleeps four. The mezzanine level has a king size bed.
Note: no heater up here - gets pretty cold in the winter |

I highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone who wants to soak in the tranquility of Cingjing Farm after a tiring day of sightseeing. At NT3200 per night, this was a bit of a splurge for us. But given the great hospitality of the hosts (a young couple) plus the sumptuous dinner and breakfast (included in listed price), I felt it was worth every single cent.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteMy name is KC Owens; I’m a college student who loves to travel! While cruising the Internet, I found your site and really enjoyed reading your posts. Personally, I think traveling is a necessary part of life as you’re exposed to all sorts of new cultures and experiences. While enjoying time abroad, I've found it's crucial to fully understand the dangers that you might encounter along the way. These mishaps are part of life and certainly part of travel but it’s always a great idea to take preventive measures to help ensure your safety while abroad.
I was hoping that you would allow me to write a post for your site to share my travel safety tips with your readers? I put a lot of time and passion into my traveling and I would love to help others by offering safety advice as a result of the mistakes and triumphs I've had. I look forward to hearing from you!
