Qingjing Farm has developed six major hiking trails. The Cuihu Trail is 2,300 meters long, featuring expansive tea plantations and the scenery of Green Lake, which looks as lush and vibrant as a lake, offering a truly refreshing experience.
The Livestock Trail is 500 meters long, with the farm’s livestock center at the entrance, allowing you to get up close and personal with flocks of sheep and herds of cattle.
The Cedar Trail is 750 meters long, where groves of cedar trees provide the perfect serene setting for enjoying forest bathing.
The Sunset Trail is 1,000 meters long and offers the best spot to watch the sunset.
The Step-Up Trail is 1,800 meters long and, as the name suggests, is a trail that takes you step-by-step uphill.
The Margaret Trail is 600 meters long and is the most popular of the six trails, covered with white French daisies (marguerites), giving it a distinct European charm.
A Four-Season Travel Destination
Qingjing Farm is a joy to visit all year round. In early spring, birds are chirping, grass is sprouting, and peach and plum blossoms are competing in full bloom across the mountains. In summer and autumn, alpine wildflowers burst into color. In late autumn, fiery red maple leaves set the mountaintops and waters aglow. In winter, snow blankets the distant peaks, creating yet another captivating scene.
The famous homestay area of Qingjing Farm is another highlight for tourists. Each building has its own unique style, and you can spend time exploring them one by one, feeling as though you're strolling through various parts of Europe. In addition, emerging attractions such as the Paiwan cultural experience, sipping coffee above the clouds, and listening to folk songs in the high mountains make Qingjing Farm a fantastic destination.
