Taiwan: Tomita Farm 富田花園農場


Daddy-in-law was pretty excited being away and he woke up real early and got us all up for breakfast the next day. 


Quite a spread for breakfast, both chinese and international style. 

 
Once we have filled our tummies, it was time to venture out. Taking their metro & they were standing orderly in line waiting for their turn to board the train. I really wish we can cultivate this habit in Singapore.

 
Even though it was almost peak hour, but the train wasn't crowded. Either we managed to avoid the morning crowd or credits to the high train frequency.

Navigating my way using the trusty directions that I've prepared for the trip. 

After alighting from the metro, we had to switch to bus. It was an extremely humid day and the bus took ages to arrive. 

  
Finally, caught sight of the bus. 

 
 Making our way to Dasi 大溪 bus interchange. 

At Dasi 大溪 bus interchange, we were the only tourists in sight, haha! Guess we have really gone to the outskirts of the city. We then transferred to a Taoyuan bus bound towards Fusing 復興 route.

Alighted at 慈湖 stop - if you're travelling free and easy, can always ask the bus driver to notify you to alight when approaching the stop. 

 Sign board located - means that we are on the right track.

  
It was approx 10-15 min walk into Tomita Farm.  

  
Wow, broken glasses on top of the wall. I wonder is that used to prevent people from trespassing?

 Entrance to the farm :) I think entrance fee is approx NT50 for public holidays & free entrance otherwise. 

 Wonder why there are so many bears in this farm? Read the story of the lil bear on their official website here

 
Let's explore the farm! 
 
We saw a couple taking their pre-wedding photoshoot in the farm :) It must be hard on them having to pose in such humid weather. 

 
Our turn for photoshoot :)

 
All wearing shades to keep the sunlight away. Don't parents-in-law look cool in their shades?

  
Up close and personal with the ducky.

 Having fun with the water and trying to cool ourselves down in such humid weather.

 
Swing swing swing! 

 
There are quite a lot of bells/wind chimes (in all shapes and sizes) hanging around the farm. Whenever the breeze comes along, music can be heard from all over. 

 
Leecher with his signature high kick - really amazed at how high he can jump given his heavy mass. 

A pity the flowers weren't in full bloom .. in fact, they looked dried out in the sunny weather. 

  
Since we came all the way here, even if the flowes ain't pretty enough, still must cam-whore, haha! 
Taking shelter from the heat.

 
The best remedy to battle the heat - lavender ice cream!
