Taihu West Hill Greenlight Leisure Farm
Greenlight Leisure Farm is located at No. 8 Daqiao Road, Jinting Town, Taihu, originally named the West Hill Agricultural Park. Covering an area of 600 acres, it was planned and designed by Tongji University. This high-tech agricultural park integrates product production, science education, sightseeing tourism, exhibition training, and information dissemination to comprehensively promote agricultural science knowledge and sightseeing concepts.
Taihu Greenlight Leisure Farm offers you a variety of colorful leisure and tourism activities: you can get up close with nature, personally experience the joy of harvesting fruits and vegetables and the fun of interacting with animals; you can also ride a horse and gallop freely on the racetrack; or try your hand at go-karting and truly feel the thrill of drifting like in “Mario Kart”; or wander through the fig maze and discover your own potential for problem-solving.
Here you’ll find vast fields of fragrant herb flowers. You don’t need to cross the ocean to Provence to stroll through beautiful herb gardens, enjoy the enchanting scents of lavender and rosemary, and experience the carefree life surrounded by sunshine, herbs, and a French countryside vibe. With its fresh floral and fruity aromas and rustic field charm, Taihu Greenlight Leisure Farm looks forward to your visit.
The main planning and construction areas of Greenlight Leisure Farm are divided into nine zones: fruit picking garden, cute animal area, herb garden, Greenlight Plaza, accommodation area, greenhouse health dining area, leisure and entertainment area, DIY classroom, and physical activity area.
Fruit Picking Garden: A 45-acre glass greenhouse equipped with a full set of automated greenhouse systems imported from Royal Brinkman of the Netherlands. With 360-degree sunlight collection, it allows various fruits and vegetables such as American cluster tomatoes, sweet peppers, corn, and mini cucumbers to grow freely all year round, so you can come and experience the joy of harvest anytime.
Cute Animal Area: Want to get up close with the legendary “four-not-alike” (also known as the elk)? Come to our small zoo, which is home not only to a large group of elk but also to rare white yaks, dazzling peacocks, adorable little rabbits, and loving mandarin duck couples... They are so lively and cute, all waiting for you to come and play with them.
Herb Garden: The sky over the herbs is romantic and vibrant, and the garden adorned with herbs is exceptionally fragrant and intoxicating. Stroll through the herb garden, let the faint fragrance of herbs drift with the breeze and gently brush your face; let the scent of herbs infuse your body, washing away the fatigue from work and travel; let the omnipresent natural aromas bring you a fresh and clean feeling, naturally lifting your spirits.
Greenlight Plaza: Here you can enjoy and participate in a variety of colorful plaza activities, shop for uniquely themed floral merchandise, and join DIY parent-child workshops to create various crafts with your family. Additionally, the plaza can host large events such as concerts and product launches, fully meeting the needs of your family or corporate group.
