Two weeks I am
here -Toucheng Leisure Farm 頭城農場. A farmland (farming) in the East
of Taiwan or more precisely in the provinces of Yilan, New Taipei City. Not too
long if you're departing from Taipei à Toucheng (頭城 à 台北), about 1 hour 45 minutes using
trains 莒光 (ju3 guang1) by
issuing the ticket of money NT$ 142 元
But it is different
if you asked how long my trip. Let me tell you. I departed from Tainan 台南 (tai2 nan2) because I am an Indonesia
student that attended a college and live currently in Tainan, a Southern Province located in
Taiwan. If you want to go using the
regular train or bus from Tainan to Toucheng (South to the East), roughly spend time
travelling around 6-8 hours. Tired? Oh no, because at that time I went to use
THSR (Taiwan High Speed Railway) and travel time is only taken for 4 hours
including arrived in room with beautiful and safe.
Ah yes, I haven't told
you in what order I go to Toucheng Leisure Farm. I will be here for 1 month as
participants in the Volunteer Internship Program of Agritourism Areas for
International Students conducted by the Taiwan Leisure Agriculture Association.
One of the goals of that program is to improve insight and promotion of
agriculture Taiwan in international. There are about 15 international students internships
deployed at various Farming in Taiwan region(South, East, North and Central).
And our activities as an intern is to get along with the community in the Farm,
participated in the activities of the estate as well as building foreign
language with local communities.
But wait, you don't
just think of Farmland in Taiwan is just a place to grow crops, picking fruit,
or feeding animals. It is true there are some such activity, but the Farmland here
(Taiwan) also serves as a recreation area, an education garden for children and
adults, campsites, a nice and friendly place to family, also we can make a products
typical of the Farm.
And here I am!!
Toucheng Leisure Farm! Woo..!!
