Zhang Mei Ama Farm

Its our first stop of the day. Situated amidst the picturesque landscapes of Yilan, the farm offers visitors the opportunity to interact with various farm animals in a controlled environment. Upon arrival, each group is provided with a bunch of greens to feed the animals, adding an interactive element to the experience. The farm is divided into three sections featuring different animals, ensuring a diverse encounter for visitors. Remember to keep some feeds for the next 2 sections!

However, one aspect to note is the structured nature of the experience. Once you move to the next section, you cannot return to the previous one. This setup can make the visit feel somewhat like a factory production, emphasizing efficiency over leisurely exploration. It’s evident that the farm caters to tourists, aiming to provide a streamlined experience.

Despite the commercial atmosphere, the kids still had a blast. For them, the opportunity to interact with animals in any capacity is a thrill, especially considering the limited access to free-roaming animal farms in Singapore. Overall, while Yilan Zhang Mei Ama Farm may lack the rustic charm of a traditional farm, it offers a convenient and enjoyable experience for families looking to engage with animals during their visit to Yilan. This got as reminded of our visit to Japan, Nara Park!

Scallion Pancake DIY Experience at CongBaoBao (蔥寶寶體驗農場)

Next stop is Scallion Pancake DIY Experience at CongBaoBao. Known for its fresh and flavorful scallions grown in Sanxing, a town in the western part of Yilan, or famously referred to as San Xing Cong, CongBaoBao offers visitors a hands-on opportunity to craft their own scallion pancakes.

During our visit, my parents kindly volunteered to watch over Hengboi2, allowing us to join the class with Hengboi.

For those looking for a more immersive experience, there’s the option to pay and pluck scallions directly from the field. However, as we were in a rush to head over to the next stop, we waited around 20 minutes to collect our freshly baked pancakes

Wooderful life Luodong Education Store (木育森林)

Next, Driver Jin drove us to Wooderful Life, which was approximately 20 minutes away. As you step inside Wooderful Life, you’ll be greeted by an array of beautifully crafted wooden products, each meticulously designed and handcrafted by skilled artisans.

Explore my journey through the beautiful and diverse Taiwan here.

During our visit, Hengboi was eager to craft his own music box and embarked on a shopping spree, handpicking items to adorn his base chosen. From trains and buses to animals and rainbows, the array of accessories was endless! Luckily, the staff was there to guide him and gently remind him of the limit on how many items could be placed on the music box.

After selecting the items, the friendly staff taught us how to arrange and fix all the accessories using wood glue on the base. The process was both educational and enjoyable, allowing us to unleash our creativity while learning new skills

I couldn’t resist the opportunity to create a customized photo frame for our new house. While Hengboi2 was napping in my carrier, my mum attended the lesson on my behalf, piecing together the photo. The end products turned out to be very pretty and we spent close to Sgd200, but it’s well worth it.

Dinner at Luodong Night Market (羅東夜市)

Hengboi requested to go back to the night market to continue his fish game. We decided to head back to the Luodong night market as I thought the chicken cutlet and grilled squid were quite nice. After purchasing our favorite treats, we decided to take them back to the hotel to enjoy. While the boys played in the bath tub, we relaxed and unwinded, concluding our day with a peaceful evening at the hotel.
