清境 Cingjing, Taiwan

In my last post on Fengjia (逢甲), I shared about how I got to THSR Taichung Station (高鐵台中站). Initially we planned to go Cingjing (清境) by taking public bus to Puli (埔里鎮) from THSR station and switch to another bus from Puli (埔里鎮) to Cingjing (清境). This whole journey would have costed us NT$257 and 2 hours of our time. However, fortunate enough we were approached by two tourists asking whether or not we are willing to share a taxi with them. We agreed and we paid for only NT$300 per person which is slightly more expensive than taking public buses but we shorten the traveling time to only 90 minutes !



So the taxi driver dropped us at Misty Wonderland Villa (雲濛仙境). We first dropped our luggage while waiting for the room to be cleaned before check in. We headed to Green Grassland (青青草原) by taking the local bus. The bus fare is only NT$15 per person and 15 minutes of traveling time. So here we are, the Green Grassland (青青草原). Not to forget the entrance fee of NT$200 or NT$120 if you have the Youth Travel Card.

Ok, why were we here ? The sheep ! There are lots of them which are more than 400 as claimed by the locals. Besides, there are horses also !




At first all the sheep were locked by the fences but there were released during and after the show. By the way, there are sheep show twice a day at 9:30a.m. and 2:30p.m. This little girl in the photo below was excited for the show.


So here starts the show... My personal advice, do not sit at the front row if you are afraid to get really close to sheep. There will be 400 sheep crossing through the crowds during the show !




After the show, feel free to take photos with the sheep or you can even hug them.

We had something for dinner nearby before we headed back to the hotel.



They are selling lots of souvenirs and foods around. Don't forget to try the fresh sheep milk too ! So here ends the day in Green Grassland (青青草原).

Our next stop... Hehuanshan (合歡山) ! Stay tune !
