A leisure farm in Taiwan has a way of inculcating the importance of agriculture in the young minds of kids and their parents. This is at the Tongshan Rice and Tea Resort, a member of the Taiwan Leisure Farms Development Association based in Yilan county. Tongshan township is where 40,000 people, mostly farmers, reside. Several years back, Tammy Chien decided to convert an old warehouse into a learning center with focus on farming. The town’s four main products are rice, mushroom, pomelo and tea. At the learning center, the participants experience hands-on do-it-yourself educational activities, including but not limited to preparing rice cake, poprice, milling rice etc. In rice, planting rice is not the only topic that is discussed. To appreciate the rice that is cooked, there is a mini rice mill installed in the learning center where one can see how rice is milled. The rice mill can produce well polished rice. The learning center also shows how to produce brown rice that is richer in vitamins than its well-polished counterpart. Then there is value-adding in rice. Installed in the learning center is a machine that can convert milled rice into poprice. The small machine can make poprice in just a few minutes. The popped rice is whole not broken. The Tongshan Rice and Tea Resort has also put up a store where the farmers’ produce are sold. Most of them are in processed form. The leisure farms in Taiwan have been promoted by the government for several years now to improve the economic status of farmers. Agritourism is being promoted by the Taiwan Leisure Farms Development Association (TLFDA) which is financially supported by the government.

If you’ve ever gone shrimping, then you’ll know that it’s usually done off a boat or a seawall. In Taipei, however, there are no boats or large bodies of water in sight, and there’s usually a beer fridge behind you. Shrimping restaurants in Taiwan‘s capital are something of a lovable oddity – here’s why. On this island nation obsessed with seafood and having a particular fondness for the novelty factor, it’s unsurprising that you can find an establishment where you have to catch your dinner yourself. It adds another level of excitement to the dinner table, and if there’s one thing that the Taiwanese love when it comes to food, it’s the unusual. Once you arrive at your chosen shrimping spot, you pay a pretty reasonable fee of about US$10 (TWD$300) for the use of a pole, a plastic chair, and a bucket of bait for an hour. You then find yourself a place at one of the rectangular pools and set up alongside your fellow shrimpers. One thing you must realize before going in though, if you don’t catch, you don’t eat. That’s right – you’re paying for the use of the equipment only, and if you happen to catch a shrimp, then you can eat it for free. #travelblogger #travelling #traveller #travelers #travels #travelblog #traveler #travellers #traveling #travelholic #travelingram #travelbug #travelpic #travelphoto #traveldiary #traveldiaries #travelandlife #travellife #travelpics #travelwriter #travelstagram #travelblog #travelersnotebook #instastravel #earthpix #trip #instatrip #travelingtheworld #ilovetravel #seetheworld (at Taiwan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmimfffBcNb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ip1rb28d9tqy

Named after the Lanyang Plains (present day Yilan County), the Lanyang museum was built next to Wushigang Harbor (烏石港) as a place where visitors can learn about the history, culture, landscape, and natural beauty of Yilan. The museum was designed by Kris Yao to blend in with nature and inspired by local natural elements such as the cuesta, a rock-form commonly found along the northeast coast of Taiwan. At a distance, the building resembles a giant black rock (paying homage to Wushi Harbour, or black rock harbour), however up close the building is truly a unique design. As the Lanyang Plains are where the ocean meets the mountains and rivers in Yilan, the museum's exhibits show Yilan's development over time with regard to its special landscape. #travelblogger #travelling #traveller #travelers #travels #travelblog #traveler #travellers #traveling #travelholic #travelingram #travelbug #travelpic #travelphoto #traveldiary #traveldiaries #travelandlife #travellife #travelpics #travelwriter #travelstagram #travelblog #travelersnotebook #instastravel #earthpix #trip #instatrip #travelingtheworld #ilovetravel #seetheworld #lanyangmuseum (at Lanyang Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmkxGP9BfOs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1faewcgtc4l8l

What better way to end a day at the National Center for Traditional Arts, Yilan County, than to spend a night at the NCTFA? The Place Yilan is a resort-style complex, managed by Taiwan’s Hotel Royal Group, right inside the NCTFA grounds. On the walls inside the entrance-building lobby are two magnificent large-scale koji pottery artworks depicting figures from Chinese mythology; koji pottery, also called cochin pottery, is a unique art form closely identified with Taiwan temple decoration. #travel #trip #vacation #taiwan #taipei #fromwhereyoudratherbe #yilan #yilancounty #passionpassport #travelawesome #neverstoptravelling #wanderlust #travelinspiration #travelstoke #letsgosomewhere #doyoutravel #lifewelltravelled #travelgram #worldlust #exploringtheglobe #globe_travel #beautifuldestinations #lonelyplanet #traveladdict #traveldeeper #bestvacations  #amazingplaces #beautifulplaces  #bbctravel (at The Place Yilan 宜蘭傳藝老爺行旅) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmos7pFh5w1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p5i2y6kt2v4d
