With its wide variety of vendors, delicious street food, and lively atmosphere, it’s no wonder that Fengjia Night Market has become a must-visit destination for tourists and locals alike. As one of the largest and most popular night markets in Taiwan, it provides a glimpse into the heart of Taiwanese culture and offers a unique shopping and dining experience that visitors won’t soon forget.

Jiufen (九份), a mountaintop former gold mining town on the northeast coast of Taiwan, is one of the most popular day trips from Taipei.

Cingjing Farm

Sitting at an elevation of nearly 1750m, Cingjing (also spelled Qingjing) is a beautiful little mountaintop town located in Ren’ai Township, Nantou, Taiwan. It’s famous for being home to Cingjing Farm and the highest skywalk in Taiwan, its cool European-inspired architecture, and proximity to Hehuanshan – one of Taiwan’s highest peaks offering unbelievable alpine scenery.

Even though Cingjing is a relatively small place, it’s home to some incredible experiences that you won’t find anywhere else in Taiwan! While most visitors head to Cingjing Farm on a day trip from Taichung to see flocks of sheep grazing in the Green Green Grasslands, there is so much more to do in Qingjing!

Wander around Cingjing Farm

Qingjing Farm is such a cool place to visit, and not just to get a close-up look at herds of adorable sheep. The entire farm is incredibly beautiful, and the views are simply mind-blowing!

Qingjing Farm comprises three main areas – Green Green Grasslands, Great Nature Theater Ecological Area, and the Guanshan Pastoral Area. While most people start their visit at the southern gate of Green Green Grassland, I highly recommend kick-starting your visit at the northern entrance, which also happens to be the highest elevated point, and work your way down.

There are tons of sheep grazing on the pastures at Qingjing Farm, and you won’t need to venture far to find them. Along the way, you’ll even find vending machines where you can buy grass to feed them. While it might seem like a cool experience, you should know that the sheep are very greedy! I saw quite a few storming people once they opened the packets. If you’re brave enough, go for it! I certainly wasn’t! Just remember, you aren’t allowed to touch the sheep at all. A bag of feed costs NT$30.

Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf

Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf is a multi-purpose leisure fishing port developed by the New Taipei City Government. There are magnificent floating piers and a spacious park, with a bridge in the shape of a boat spanning across the harbor and a wooden path stretching over 300 meters at the waterfront. It is relaxing to lean against the fence enjoying the breeze and sights at the Tamsui River mouth. In the evening, this is the best place to watch the view of the sunset.
