From downtown Hsinchu, go in the direction of Nei Wan Jian Shan, then follow the little path opposite Mei Hua Elementary School in Mei Hua Village and you will discover a wonderful place to relax in a sea of green mountains and valleys. Miss Ku and her family run this recreational farm together. For a small fee, visitors can camp here, go fishing and, under the owners' guidance, enjoy a nice walk in the forest. You can also enjoy barbecues and there is even a small pool for children to play in. Call in advance and the owners can prepare aboriginal-style barbecue ingredients for you. Home-stays are available, too. For Hsinchu residents who want to get out of town but don't want to go too far, this is definitely a new holiday option. Meals need to be ordered in advance and there are aboriginal-style set menus available, priced around NT$300. Another special feature not found elsewhere are the special natural drinks. (Note: Road conditions are fine and were unaffected by Typhoon Haitang.)
